Nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction -- reducing the threat of proliferation through cooperation and improved monitoring, assessment and prevention.
Economic prosperity -- strengthening the contribution of investments in science and technology to advancing U.S. participation in global markets.
Sustainable development -- strengthening the capacity of societies to achieve economic stability and growth without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs; mitigating physical and societal stresses that contribute to civil conflict.
