About the National Security Policy Center (NSPC)
Who We Are
The National Security Policy Center (NSPC) at Batten provides evidence-based teaching, research, and policy engagement on pressing security issues facing the United States and the globe. We support students and security professionals to address the most challenging questions confronting our nation today by increasing knowledge, developing relationships, and improving communication between the U.S. government and academia.
The National Security Data and Policy Institute (NSDPI)
UVA is also home to the National Security Data and Policy Institute (NSDPI), a pan-university organization that brings together academia, government, and industry to combine expertise in data science, artificial intelligence, research computing, and policy. The NSDPI and NSPC are co–located and work closely together to further UVA’s national security research.
The UVA Advantage
The University of Virginia has a unique history of academic excellence, a tradition of policy engagement, and a commitment to public service. Our proximity to Washington, D.C. allows easy access for policymakers, but the 100–mile buffer between Charlottesville and the Beltway also creates a neutral environment that facilitates thoughtful discussion. Finally, as a nonpartisan academic center, the NPSC provides credible and pragmatic research that avoids ideological and partisan bias.
