Supporting NIU Scholarship

The Office of Research (OOR) serves as the Intelligence Community’s premier resource for intelligence scholarship. Its mission is to promote ideas, innovation, and research distinction by leading research standards and providing outlets for innovation and research excellence to flourish. To that end, OOR is comprised of the Ann Caracristi Institute for Intelligence Research, the National Intelligence Press, and the University Library.

NI Press is an academic press dedicated to publishing high quality publications on enduring or emerging issues of concern to policy and decisionmakers.

As the dedicated research unit of NIU, CIIR serves to support, advance, and promote NIU’s scholarly research on topics critical to US Intelligence and national security in support of ODNI, NIU, and broader US national security establishment.

The Library plays a key role in enhancing the competence of intelligence professionals by providing research assistance, instruction, and comprehensive academic collections and tools that support the curriculum of the University and the analytic needs of the ODNI.
