Thank you for your interest in the CSIS Accelerator Series. We are currently accepting applications for the 2026 program, running from July to December.

The program is offered in hybrid format, with some in-person and some virtual sessions that allow for the credit minimum to be reached remotely. In person sessions will be held at CSIS in Washington, D.C. Please contact Trevor Allred (tallred@csis.org) for additional information.

To exit the form and return later to complete it, you must click the "Save and Continue" button at the bottom of the page you are working on. To re-enter your previously saved application, you must use the original link, as well as the same browser and computer or device. You can revisit your application up until the application deadline on May 22, 2026.

If you have any questions, please contact Trevor Allred at tallred@csis.org or visit our webpage for an overview of the curriculum.

Acceptances will be made on a rolling basis, and all applicants will be made aware of their acceptance status no later than May 29, 2026.
