National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI)
Mission
Provide novel research, technology, training and expertise to improve the U.S. capability to deter, interdict and respond to strategic threats.
Vision
Provide innovative and timely solutions designed to keep our warfighters and nation safe — today and tomorrow.
University Affiliated Research Center
In 2012 the University of Nebraska System (NU) and U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) engaged in a long-term, strategic partnership by creating a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) designated by the Department of Defense (DOD). NSRI was established to carry the UARC credential for NU.
The only UARC sponsored by a unified combatant command, NSRI provides mission-essential research and development capabilities for USSTRATCOM as well as other DOD components and federal agencies focused on strategic deterrence and countering weapons of mass destruction.
NSRI works to fulfill needs within each of its UARC core competencies, areas of expertise in key technical areas.
NSRI's UARC Core Competencies
- Nuclear Detection and Forensics
- Detection of Chemical and Biological Weapons
- Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction
- Consequence Management
- Mission-Related Research
NSRI receives funding from project sponsors through contracts generated from a sole-source, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with USSTRATCOM, as well as other direct contract vehicles and grants.
