Pat Roberts Intelligence Scholars Program (PRISP)
Sen. Pat Roberts (Ret.)
The purpose of the program is to retain critical Intelligence Community (IC) analytic skills by ensuring recipients (current NIP/MIP-funded positions) are provided funds for continued or prior academic expense reimbursement.
This program was established in FY 2004, then codified into law through FY 2010 Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA), Section 311, “…carry out a program to ensure selected students or former students are provided funds to continue academic training, or are reimbursed for specialized training previously obtained.”
The program works to assist the intelligence enterprise efforts to hire and/or retain highly qualified analysts with critical skills, as determined by the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with IC element heads.
PRISP facilitates a diverse and inclusive process by:
- Welcoming diverse perspectives in executing our shared national security mission.
- Fostering a culture that encourages collaboration, flexibility and fairness to enable all employees to contribute to their fullest potential.
- Encouraging employees and supervisors to address their own unconscious biases that can play a part in decision-making.
