The Defense Security Cooperation University (DSCU) research institute mission is to improve the quality and professionalism of security cooperation through evidence-based research, analysis, and application of lessons learned. The institute sponsors and concludes research projects that align substantively with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Learning and Evaluation Agenda for Partnerships (LEAP) framework (https://open.defense.gov/Portals/23/Documents/Security_Cooperation/International_DoD_Learning_and_Evaluation_Agenda_for_Partnerships_(LEAP)_Framework_for_Public_Release_2022.pdf), in partnership with individual researchers, educational institutions, and policy-focused research organizations.

The DSCU research grant program, conducted pursuant to 10 USC 4001, is generally open to a broad range of researchers, although individual DSCU components may have restrictions on who may receive grants. Unless otherwise noted at the component level, DSCU grants are open to: individual researchers (with or without an affiliation); professional military education (PME) and civilian academic institutions; U.S. and international research and think thank institutions; federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs); U.S. interagency security cooperation communities of interest; and the security cooperation workforce (as defined by 10 USC 384(h)). DSCU expects awardees to participate in conferences, seminars, focus groups, and events to enhance dissemination of research findings and facilitate application of lessons learned in areas of policy, practice, and workforce professionalization.
