For UC Graduate Students, Post-Docs, and Professionals Interested in Biosecurity
Public Policy and Biological
Threats 2008 Summer Boot Camp
"Public Policy and Biological Threats" is a two-week training program
in residence at UC San Diego. The program is funded by a generous grant from
the
Carnegie Corporation of New York.
This progressive training module fosters a dynamic and multidisciplinary learning
environment for private industry professionals, community leaders, and government
officials as well as junior faculty, Ph.D., and professional-school students
in the University of California system. Our mission is to provide a collaborative
environment for our Biosecurity Fellows to efficiently analyze and/or develop
policy responses to the threat of bioterrorism.
Full funding is available for
UC or RAND Ph.D. students, UC faculty, and UC post-docs. It includes program
curriculum, travel, lodging, and meals. We anticipate
some funding will be available to provide assistance to participants from
outside the UC system.
If you are interested in applying for the summer 2008 boot camp or would like
more information on the project, please contact PPBT Project Manager Raymond
Clark.
For UC Graduate Students, Post-Docs, and Professionals Interested in Nuclear Policy
Public Policy and Nuclear
Threats 2008 Summer Boot Camp
The Public Policy and Nuclear Threats
course is designed to cover important issues in U.S. nuclear strategy and

the scientific foundations of this policy. This course aims to give participants
the knowledge and analytic tools to contribute to the debate on future U.S.
nuclear policy.
The course includes lectures, discussions,
and debates on a wide range of issues. During
each week, participants will attend talks by distinguished researchers
from academia and the Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories,
observe roundtable discussions with leading governmental and non-governmental
experts,
and enjoy events with current and former government officials responsible
for nuclear policy.
The course is broken into three one-week modules. Participants may choose to attend any or all of the modules.
- Week One: U.S. Nuclear Posture and Strategy
- Week Two: Nonproliferation Strategy
- Week Three: Future Nuclear Threats
