Executive Summary
ISN/CTR administers the Counterproliferation and Sanctions Enforcement (CASE) program to increase global capacity to implement and enforce U.S. and international sanctions imposed on Iran and DPRK and thwart these nations’ abilities to develop ballistic missile (BM), drone and unmanned aerial system (UAS), and nuclear capabilities that pose a threat to U.S. national security. Established in 2017 to support the Trump Administration’s pressure campaign against the DPRK, the CASE trains partners to enforce U.S. and international sanctions constraining DPRK weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation. In parallel, CASE is ISN’s flagship programmatic tool to implement Maximum Pressure on Iran through National Security Presidential Memorandum 2. In support of these campaigns, CASE facilitates sanctions implementation by equipping partner governments and private sector leaders with expertise and enforcement tools to detect, disrupt and prevent Iranian and DPRK sanctions evasion activities that enable their acquisition of proliferation sensitive technologies, materials, and expertise.  CASE activities ultimately strengthen maritime security, cybersecurity, and global sanctions regimes; disrupt Iran and DPRK revenue generation; and protect U.S. supply chains, U.S. companies’ global investments, and U.S. access to international markets.

Executive Summary
ISN/CTR’s Biosecurity Engagement Program (BEP) advances the Trump Administration’s Executive Order (E.O.) on Improving the Safety and Security of Biological Research, which pledges to “balance the prevention of catastrophic consequences with maintaining readiness against biological threats and driving global leadership in biotechnology, biological countermeasures, biosecurity, and health research”. In alignment with this E.O., BEP engages partner countries to prevent U.S. adversaries from developing or using biological weapons (BW) against Americans. BEP also protects U.S. biotechnologies, sensitive data, and intellectual property (IP), and bolsters U.S. leadership of global biotechnology markets through private sector engagement to outcompete China, and promotes partner countries’ adoption of U.S. laboratory security, safety, and cybersecurity standards. To successfully achieve this mission, BEP partners include biological and biotechnology laboratories, bio- and data repositories, universities, science and technology organizations or academies, foreign government organizations and entities, biosafety associations or similar professional associations, and private industry.  The expertise and tools acquired through BEP engagements are critical to enable our partners to counter the predatory and exploitative efforts of U.S. adversaries that threaten U.S. national and economic security.

Executive Summary
ISN/CTR's Chemical Security Program (CSP) is a counterproliferation program designed to prevent U.S. adversaries from acquiring the materials, equipment, and expertise needed to advance chemical weapons (CW) programs that threaten U.S. national security. CSP engages key stakeholders in frontline countries to ensure they are better able to identify, interdict, and investigate high-risk transfers; enforce U.S. sanctions; recognize and attribute chemical attacks; and promote U.S. chemical security standards and risk-based best practices for partner country chemical industries. Through targeted engagements, CSP disrupts U.S. adversaries' efforts to weaponize pharmaceutical based agents (PBAs) for offensive and military applications, builds countries ability to recognize and attribute chemical weapons (CW) attacks, and disrupts illicit chemical shipments that could be used to produce CW. CSP also promotes security coordination between partner governments and private industry to improve counterproliferation implementation. Through this targeted, preventive programming, CSP enhances U.S. and partner resilience by closing the chemical counterproliferation gaps exploited by American adversaries, while simultaneously promoting U.S. chemical security standards and reducing undue burden on business.

Executive Summary 
China and Russia systematically exploit global supply chains and the U.S. financial system to acquire proliferation-sensitive goods and technologies and support onward proliferation through illicit trade networks. These actions are in violation of U.S. and international laws and regulations and undermine American security and prosperity and the security of our partners and allies.   

ISN/CTR conducts global national security programming that counters illicit procurement, investment schemes, and financing networks that China and Russia use to exploit international trade and finance.  U.S. and partner country sanctions and economic deterrents target the nodes and sectors that enable China’s & Russia’s military modernization and sanctions evasion efforts; however, these tools are only as strong as their implementation and enforcement around the globe. 

ISN/CTR provides partners with enhanced capabilities to identify and disrupt complex sanctions evasion strategies and understand the risks of noncompliance (e.g. potential secondary sanctions). ISN/CTR accomplishes this through technical engagements that provide resources to assist partners to identify and avoid transactions with designated entities, and their associated networks. Engagements are tailored to discrete audiences within the public and private sector and address region or jurisdiction-specific issues.

Executive Summary
U.S. adversaries, including China, are seeking advanced and emerging technologies to advance their military capabilities and to develop and deploy weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and advanced conventional weapons against the United States.  A significant number of foreign governments, public and private research organizations, tech industries, and start-up communities are unaware of dual-use applications of technologies and remain vulnerable to theft and loss of technologies, data, intellectual property (IP), knowledge and talent that can be leveraged for military end uses.  For example, semiconductors, which are critical components in a most of today’s electronic devices, are also a critical input for the development of military technologies, WMD and WMD delivery systems, and technologies with potential dual-uses – such as artificial intelligence.  In addition to seeking advanced technologies, adversaries exploit commercial and scientific facilities, training centers, and the seas to conduct illegal military operations.

Malign actors use legal and illegal means such as joint commercial ventures, talent recruitment programs, research partnerships/funding, predatory contracting agreements, private equity investments, joint scientific facilities/laboratories, cybertheft, state-sponsored industrial espionage, supply chain diversion, or sales or donation of untrusted hardware and software to acquire foreign intellectual property, conduct dual-use research and development, or conduct military activities under the guise of science diplomacy or commercial activity.  Affiliations and links to military entities are often obfuscated or disguised when establishing collaborations and partnerships in order to gain admission and secure visas to study or conduct research on sensitive advanced and emerging technologies at foreign universities; to procure critical equipment and components from unsuspecting or indiscriminate commercial or scientific institutions; or when establishing joint scientific facilities or operating in international business markets. 

ISN/CTR seeks to enable key foreign partners to protect critical advanced and emerging technologies from exploitation by our adversaries for military, technological, and economic advancement; secure U.S. intellectual property (IP) abroad; and prevent the exploitation of commercial and scientific partnerships in several key areas, including but not limited to: aerospace and space technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), nanotechnologies, neuroscience, quantum computing and sensing, semiconductors, and smart cities.  ISN/CTR also seeks to apply risk reduction tools to more traditional security vulnerabilities that are exploited by proliferator states for military training, geographic influence, etc.

Program Overview

The Macy Faculty Scholars Program, now in its second decade, aims to identify and nurture promising early-career educators in medicine and nursing. The program will help develop the next generation of national leaders in medical and nursing education by identifying outstanding educators, physicians, nurses, and role models—individuals who represent the breadth of diversity seen in learners, patient populations, and health care settings around the country. By providing the Scholars with resources—especially protected time, mentorship, and a professional network of colleagues—the program aims to accelerate Scholars’ careers, to turn their teaching practice into scholarship, and to help them become impactful leaders locally, nationally, and beyond.

This is a career development award. The Foundation is interested in candidates for whom the program will have the maximum impact at this point in their career and who also have the greatest possibility for future impact at their home institutions and beyond. Macy Faculty Scholars will participate in the Macy Faculty Scholars Annual Meeting and will be part of the family of Macy Faculty Scholars for the remainder of their careers.

In order to develop the careers of educators who are future leaders, the Macy Faculty Scholars Program will provide salary support for each Scholar up to $100,000 per year, which will protect 50% of the Scholar’s time over two years. The Scholar will devote this time to a mentored educational scholarly project and other appropriate career development activities.
