Minerva Research Initiative
Abstract
The Minerva Research Initiative is a university-based social science basic research program directed from within the OSD and executed by the Services, consistent with the January 2012 priorities document "Sustaining U.S. Global Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century Defense" and the QDR requirements. This program seeks to build a deeper understanding of the social, cultural, and political forces that shape regions of the world of strategic importance to the United States. Deeper understanding of the cultural and political environments where threats such as radical actors and regime disruptions develop supports more effective strategic and operational policy decisions.
