What Is This Program?

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency’s (DSCA) Defense Security Cooperation University (DSCU) promotes access to and production of knowledge on security cooperation. Security cooperation refers to all “interactions with foreign security establishments that build and develop allied and partner security capabilities and capacity for self-defense and multinational operations, provide the Armed Forces of the United States with access to the foreign country during peacetime or a contingency operation, and build relationships that promote specific United States security interests” (Joint Publication 3-20, Security Cooperation, 1-2; see also 10 USC § 16, “Security Cooperation”). DSCU components sponsor evidence-, theory-, and data-building activities that contribute to the body of knowledge on security cooperation or irregular warfare, that meet standards of scientific rigor, and that results in lessons that can be applied to practice. DSCU-sponsored research is generally open to a broad range of researchers and research institutions anywhere in the world, although individual DSCU components may have restrictions on who may receive assistance.
