  1. The National Center on the Psychology of Terrorism

  2. The National Center on the Psychology of Terrorism (NCPT) was founded in the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks to research psychological aspects of terrorism, mass trauma, and to develop effective mass-casualty response strategies drawn from the behavioral sciences. • The NCPT served as a research test-bed for the Center for Interdisciplinary Policy, Education, and Research on Terrorism (CIPERT), which has since taken the lead in counter-terror research.

  3. The NCPT continues to focus on conducting high quality, transdisciplinary research in the following areas: 1.Disaster mental health for mass casualty incidents 2.Evaluation of large-scale disaster management performance 3.Development and assessment of simulation training systems for emergency managers. • The center is also centrally involved in training the next generation of clinical psychologists who will be equipped to treat victims of terrorism and mass disaster.

  4. In 2003 the NCPT was recognized by the American Psychological Association’s Board of Educational Affairs as one of the country’s most innovative sites for graduate student training in psychology. • The center has been variously funded by the US Navy, the US Surgeon Generaland the National Science Foundation.
