Welcome to the web site for the National
Academic Consortium for Homeland Security. The Consortium comprises public
and private academic institutions engaged in scientific research,
technology
development and transition, education and training, and service programs
concerned with current and future U.S. national security
challenges, issues,
problems and solutions, at home and around the world.
The goal of the National Academic Consortium for Homeland Security is to help
improve the security of the U.S. and its worldwide interests, while protecting
and preserving its values, freedoms and civil liberties, and economic interests
and competitiveness. The specific objectives of the Consortium are to
help:
| (1) | Improve understanding of national security issues, especially terrorism and strategies for counter-terrorism; |
| (2) | Promote development of better-informed public policy, strategy, plans and programs regarding national security issues; |
| (3) | Develop new technologies and transition those technologies into effective, practical and affordable solutions to (current and future) international and homeland security problems; and |
| (4) | Educate and train the people required by governmental and non-governmental organizations, to effectively accomplish international and homeland security roles and responsibilities. |
The primary role of the Consortium is to promote,
support and enhance academic research, technology development, education
and training, and service programs dealing with all aspects of international
and homeland security, through collaboration and information- sharing
among academic institutions, researchers and scholars. Our vision
is that the Consortium also becomes an effective sounding board and
consultative body to assist federal-government decision makers in
developing more effective national policies and programs concerning
academic research and technology development, education and training,
and related service programs pertaining to national security.
This web site offers registered academic institutions the opportunity to share

and deployment activities, education and training programs or courses, and service

aspects of U.S. national security, at home and abroad.
