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.

All universities will:

Bullet Develop or enhance curriculum to build the skill sets needed in the IC professions
Bullet Conduct pre-collegiate outreach in their geographic regions
Bullet Host a Colloquia with consortium universities to heighten IC issues and careers
Bullet Send at least ten "IC Scholars" abroad to obtain language and cultural awareness or immersion experiences
Bullet Provide end of grading period reports for oversight and compliance of all program requirements

For additional information, please view the IC CAE brochure and the IC CAE Guidance and Procedures documents, or contact us.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is seeking about 30 highly motivated graduate students interested in careers in intelligence analysis to study and work with currently serving analysts during an intensive two-week residential seminar in Washington DC.

The hands-on seminar, the first such exercise sponsored by the ODNI, will be held July 13 through July 24, 2009 in Washington DC and will address the theme: "Political Instability - International Systems in Transition." Travel expenses, room and board, course materials and a $1,000 stipend will be paid. The seminar's co-sponsors are the Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Analysis/National Intelligence Council Chairman, and the Office of the Intelligence Community Centers of Academic Excellence.

Through the academic partnerships that are being fostered by the Centers of Academic Excellence (CAE) program, we are building, recruiting, and hiring people with diverse backgrounds, skills, and language proficiencies that are not currently well-represented in today's Intelligence Community. The work done by the CAE program is not just to the benefit of the Intelligence Community; these students are helping to keep America safe, and for that I am thankful.

Director of National Intelligence
