NTI is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Dean as vice president of the Global Nuclear Policy Program.

Paul Dean is vice president of NTI’s Global Nuclear Policy Program. In this role, he leads the organization’s efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, reduce the risk of nuclear use, and ultimately end the existential threat of nuclear war.

Resuming nuclear testing would risk the health and safety of Nevadans, U.S. national security, and global stability.

The Africa Health Security (AHS) Index is a comprehensive, independent assessment of epidemic and pandemic preparedness across Africa. It enables leaders to measure, finance, and advance improvements in health security and create an evidence-based accountability framework to track progress toward better epidemic and pandemic preparedness in Africa.

"Such steps would introduce long-recognized security risks and have the unintended consequence of impeding nuclear energy expansion just as momentum builds for such an outcome," writes NTI Co-Chair and CEO Ernest J. Moniz.

A growing coalition of funders is stepping up to ensure that scientific innovation doesn’t come at the cost of safety and security. Representatives from influential, non-governmental funding organizations who advance critical life science research around the world met virtually on May 9, 2025 for the second Bio Funders Forum.
