About the Center
The Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security is a collaborative effort between Duke University, the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and Research Triangle Institute, International to contribute to the national security by enhancing our understanding of terrorism and the means to combat it.
The Center's core missions will be education, research, and the development of partnerships between universities, industry and the government to address the nation's most pressing counterterrorism and homeland security challenges.
In pursuing the goals, the Center will draw on the wide array of scholars, researchers, and experts in a variety of fields resident at the three sponsor institutions who are engaged in work ranging from basic research to the execution of government funded projects.
