A Diverse National Security Workforce is a Strategic Asset

Diversity of thought, experience, and background drives innovation. Building a diverse network of problem-solvers sourced from under-represented and non-traditional DoD participant communities is a key characteristic of our approach. The work NSIN does in seeking out talent where it lives is central to our contribution to the important work of expanding and diversifying the National Security Innovation Base.
