The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) is an independent policy research organization focused on defense strategy and budgeting, examining how resource choices affect national security in an era of heightened great-power competition. It seeks to influence policy discussions and prompt actions that align U.S. and allied interests with available resources. The institution provides timely, impartial analyses to senior decision makers across the executive and legislative branches, the media, and the broader security establishment. Based in Washington, DC, CSBA has operated for more than three decades and produces analyses on defense strategy, budgets, and the security environment. In 2022, the center announced the appointment of Dr. Sameer Lalwani as a non-resident senior fellow.
