Science Centers

The Science Centers helped prevent the proliferation of WMD-related scientific and technical knowledge to proliferant states and terrorist groups by providing grants for peaceful research to former Soviet weapons scientists in Russia and other states of the former Soviet Union. The program’s objectives were to gain access to the total population of former-Soviet WMD scientists and engineers, to engage them in open, transparent, and peaceful R&D activities, and to redirect as many as possible to sustainable, peaceful civilian careers. These objectives were accomplished through: 1) increasing the number of program contacts with weapon scientists and institutes; 2) expanding those contacts into all WMD scientific technology areas (e.g., chemical weapon scientists, missile system engineers); 3) implementing training, commercialization, and technology development activities within the Science Centers; and 4) facilitating strategic industrial partnering between the scientists and western companies.
