Preparing Successful ISTC Proposals for Radiological Monitoring Projects
The United States Science Centers Program exists because expertise relevant to the production or use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) exists in the states formerly comprising the Soviet Union. We seek to deter the transfer of that knowledge to people or governments that would use it to do harm or terrorize. Working through the Science & Technology Centers in Moscow and Kyiv, we promote peaceful collaborative science as an alternative to the proliferation of WMD expertise. In concert, we believe that increasing the prosperity of scientists helps reduce the potential attraction of working for rogue states and groups. Therefore, we aim to help scientific groups become successful at developing stable sources of income. Towards that end, we hope to guide former WMD scientists in the successful preparation of not only research proposals to the Science Centers, but future proposals seeking other funding sources as they join the competitive global scientific community.
