The National Security Studies Program was created in 2009 to institutionalize and support security studies at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. The central purposes of NSSP are to conduct basic, policy-relevant research on critical topics of national security and strategy and to educate and prepare scholars in strategy and national security for positions in colleges, universities, research institutes, and government. The program awards pre-doctoral fellowships, funds the research of individual scholars, supports teaching in national security affairs at Harvard University, undertakes research projects on important topics, and publishes working papers.

Stephen Peter Rosen, Beton Michael Kaneb Professor of National Security and Military Affairs, is the program's director. Its offices are located at 1727 Cambridge Street.
