Through NSIN’s academic partnerships, students can participate in fellowships and research opportunities that introduce them to real-world experiences working with the DoD. Recently, NSIN alumni have published policy papers and reports addressing military challenges using research they developed during NSIN academic programs. Learn more below: |
University of Virginia student Maggie Sparling co-authored a publication on U.S. policy toward the Pacific Island countries using research from her NSIN X-Force Fellowship last summer. During X-Force, Sparling and her teammates worked with the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division (NSWC Crane) to map Chinese gray zone activities in the Pacific Islands and develop a U.S. strategy in response. |
