MINDS Writing Program
The Minuteman Institute for National Defense Studies writing program provides an opportunity for authors to publish their work on critical issues of the day. MINDS publishes many of the papers submitted each year. To recognize and honor work that represents the very best ideas on the most critical issues $1,000.00 awards are given to the authors of up to three papers annually. Winning authors may be invited to present and defend their work at the annual NGAUS Conference.
The MINDS Writing Program is managed by the Board of Directors. For information on submitting a paper please go to the Writing Program Submission Policy.
