The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) IC Centers of Academic Excellence (CAE) Program Office establishes long term partnerships with Academia for the IC to help meet the requirements articulated in the authorities.
Providing competitively awarded grants to universities to establish programs in national security studies through their unique disciplines of study will create a new diverse talent pool from which the intelligence community can recruit from.
All universities will:
|
Develop or enhance curriculum to build the skill sets needed in the IC professions |
|
Conduct pre-collegiate outreach in their geographic regions |
|
Host a Colloquia with consortium universities to heighten IC issues and careers |
|
Send at least ten "IC Scholars" abroad to obtain language and cultural awareness or immersion experiences |
|
Provide end of grading period reports for oversight and compliance of all program requirements |
