ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Admission to this program is competitive and is based on professional achievement and organizational responsibility. There is no formal educational requirement, but fluency in written and spoken English is a necessity for the program.
Early application is encouraged. Qualified candidates are admitted on a rolling, space-available basis, and the program often fills to capacity. Because of the interactive nature of this program, the number of participants is limited. Applications received after the deadline will be considered only if space remains in the class.
The NPLI program is intended for senior policy makers in the United States engaged in emergency preparedness in federal, state, and local agencies whose work affects the public’s health and safety. It is also intended for public officials responsible for building crisis-response capacity in both the public and nonprofit sectors.
To be eligible to apply, the applicant must have strategic planning or operational leadership responsibility in the event of a crisis in their jurisdiction, or be on a career track leading to such a position. Participants will be required to attend the initial one-week session and the concluding two and one-half day seminar.
