## Program for International and Homeland Security

- Established in April 2002

**Goal:**  Help improve the security of the United States, while preserving and protecting our Constitution, values, freedoms and liberties, international relationships, and economic strength and competitiveness

## Program for International and Homeland Security

**Purpose/Mission:**
- Assist those government agencies and private-sector organizations responsible for various aspects of homeland security
- By promoting and supporting national-security research and development, education and training, and service at The Ohio State University

## Program for International and Homeland Security

**Vision:**
- The Ohio State University is recognized nationally and internationally as a center of excellence for homeland-security solutions, through research and development, education and training, and service and outreach.

## Objectives:
Increase our understanding of national security issues, especially extremism, the use of terrorism, and the proliferation of technologies and weapons of mass destruction
Promote the development of better-informed (federal and state) public policy, strategies, plans and programs, regarding national security issues 

- Increase our understanding of national security issues, especially extremism, the use of terrorism, and the proliferation of technologies and weapons of mass destruction
- Promote the development of better-informed (federal and state) public policy, strategies, plans and programs, regarding national security issues

- Program for International and Homeland Security

## Program for International and Homeland Security

**Objectives:**
- Develop new technologies and transition those technologies into effective, practical and affordable solutions to (current and future) international and homeland security problems
- Prepare people to better understand and deal more effectively with the international and homeland security challenges we face today, and will likely face in the future

## Program for International and Homeland Security

**Strategy:**
- Capitalize on the university’s strengths, e.g.:
- Size and comprehensiveness
- Capability to deliver multidisciplinary programs
- Nationally-ranked programs and world-class scholars and researchers
- National leader in industry-funded research
- Relationship with federal agencies responsible for homeland security and defense
- Support to Ohio state government

## Program for International and Homeland Security

**Strategy:**
- Establish the program as a university-wide (multi-functional, multi-disciplinary) effort
- Do not establish a separate center/institute for homeland security (within a particular college or staff office) -- ***the ***_***entire***_*** ***_***university***_*** is the “center”***
- Establish and support Homeland security and defense-related research and educational programs within and among various academic units

**Strategy – A Comprehensive Approach:**

## Program for International andHomeland Security

**Strategy:**
- Encourage Ohio State academic units, teams  and individual scholars/researchers to work on international and homeland security problems, especially multidisciplinary programs, activities and initiatives
- Leverage Ohio State resources through strategic partnerships and alliances, e.g., with:
- Other universities and colleges
- Battelle Memorial Institute
- Other public- and private-sector organizations, e.g., State of Ohio Security Task Force

## Program for International and Homeland Security

**Strategy:**
- Most importantly, make the program relevant and responsive to the current and future homeland-security requirements of:
- Federal government
- Executive Branch departments and agencies
- Department of Homeland Security
- Congressional committees
- Ohio’s state and local government departments and agencies
- Non-government organizations, e.g.,
- Owners of critical infrastructure
- Suppliers to the homeland-security market

## Establish a Program that Will ...

- Contribute to development of policies, plans, technologies, people, and other capabilities necessary to help implement:
- National strategy documents (i.e., National Strategy for Homeland Security and related national strategies)
- Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPDs 1-13)
- National Incident Management System (March 2004)
- National Response Plan [ESF and Incident Annexes],       (December 2004)
- Interim National Infrastructure Protection Plan (Feb 2005)
- Interim National Preparedness Goal (April 2005)
- Target Capabilities List – 1.1 (April 2005)
- Ohio Homeland Security Strategic Plan (September 2004)

**Notes:**

  It’s absolutely essential that we relate our proposed research to the requirements, goals and objectives outlined in the various national strategy, policy and planning documents.

  Several of these have been released since the BAA was published.
