Minerva Research Initiative
Abstract
The Minerva Research Initiative includes two primary components: (1) a university-based social science basic research grant program; and (2) Research for Defense Education Faculty (R-DEF) at the professional military education (PME) institutions. Both components contribute to Minerva goals of revitalizing connections between DoD and academic social science communities, and building critical cultural and foreign area knowledge and insights in topics ranging from the mechanisms of radicalization to geopolitical power projection strategies in a multipolar world. This deeper understanding will provide a more informed basis to shape doctrine, analysis, and other strategic and operational decisions made by war planners and warfighters.
