IC CAE Program
54.001
N/A
The Intelligence Community Centers for Academic Excellence (IC CAE) Program is codified in the National Security Act with the intent to increase the pool of applicants for Intelligence Community (IC) organizations by expanding awareness of the IC mission and culture throughout ethnically and geographically diverse communities. The IC CAE Program Office at ODNI (IC CAE PO) encourages applications that showcase innovative ideas for establishing enduring curricula, partnerships, and programs in areas of interest to the IC and national security. The IC CAE PO has found that the most successful recipients are those guided by personnel with knowledge of and experience in the IC; however, this is not a requirement. Further findings show that school programs are enhanced by partnerships with and outreach to IC installations and private industry in their regions supporting intelligence and national security work. The IC CAE has nine objectives that serve as the foundation of the program: (1) Consortium and Single Institution of Higher Education, (2) Curriculum Development, (3) Establish and Maintain IC CAE Program Management, Marketing, and Sustainment Action Plans, (4) Foreign Language Programs, (5) Faculty Research and Professional Development in Support of Teaching to the Chosen Curriculum Pathway, (6) Student Participation in Academic Programs and Professional Development Activities, (7) Host an Annual Colloquium or Speaker Series in Collaboration with Sub-recipients, (8) Study Abroad and Cultural Immersion, (9) Use of Grant Funds to Create Scholarships for IC CAE Scholars.
