The interview discusses the Stanton Foundation's work in funding nuclear security research, particularly through their Stanton Nuclear Security Fellows Program. The foundation aims to support young researchers who can influence policy in this area, without pushing any specific policy agenda themselves. They fund a range of academic institutions and think tanks, looking for a critical mass of senior experts to mentor the next generation. While they primarily fund US-based organizations, they have also expanded to support some non-US institutions.
