Agencies and Offices of the Federal Government with National Security Responsibilities for 1996-2004 NSEP Boren Award Recipients
NSEP has employed the definition of national security in the President's annual national security strategy submitted to Congress. The issues identified in this document are used to identify federal agencies and offices whose responsibilities focus on one or more of these issues. In all cases, with the exception of the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community, the list is office specific. In these cases, an NSEP award recipient must work for the office within an agency or organization identified by NSEP as having national security responsibilities.
The list of federal agencies and offices is not intended to be comprehensive or exhaustive. Other agencies and offices of the federal government will be considered, on a case-by-case basis. Award recipients will be required to submit a statement outlining the rationale for such an agency or office and a subcommittee of the National Security Education Board will review each case.
