CNS strives to combat the spread of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) by training the next generation of nonproliferation specialists and disseminating timely information and analysis. It is the largest nongovernmental organization in the United States devoted exclusively to research and training on nonproliferation issues. It is located at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey.
CNS is deeply committed to diversity, inclusion, and equity, both within our organization and in the nonproliferation and international security field writ large.
- The CNS Young Women in Nonproliferation initiative is committed to exposing WMD nonproliferation and disarmament issues to more women at US colleges and universities. By doing so, CNS hopes to encourage young women to consider careers in this field. CNS also conducts events at women’s colleges and matches undergraduate women who are interested in this field with mentors.
As part of its ongoing efforts to increase and promote DEI, CNS is a proud supporter of and partner with Women of Color Advancing Peace and Security (WCAPS), and maintains a particularly close relationship with the WCAPS-West Coast chapter.
