Summary The major objectives during this performance period are to: Refine the development and delivery of the Homeland Security (HS) graduate program nationwide. Program: 1) assist local, state, and federal leaders across all disciplines to develop the strategies, policies and organizational elements (including civil-military and interagency and intergovernmental cooperation) needed to defeat terrorism; and 2) create a "multiplier effect" to maximize federal investment by sharing program content and research results with organizations across the nation to build national HS preparedness through education. The FY12 budget request is based upon the Department of Homeland Security I FEMA - National preparedness Directorate (NPD) guidance to develop and conduct "cutting edge" graduate programs for senior homeland security local, state, and federal officials. The core CHDS Instruction program is the homeland security Master's Degree Program. This Program continues to evolve to build the national capacity for homeland security Instruction, and meet the increased demand for CHDS education to officials responsible for HS.
