I've written policy briefs and threat assessments on cyber warfare, defense innovation, and geopolitical risk for think tank-style clients, so this work is familiar territory. 1. Which specific deliverable format does RIPS expect — structured policy memos, long-form analytical reports, executive summaries, or a combination, and is there a house style guide to follow? 2. Are researchers expected to develop original primary-source analysis, or is the core task synthesizing and contextualizing existing open-source intelligence and published literature? 3. Will contributors work on assigned topics determined by RIPS, or propose their own research angles within the listed focus areas — and is there an editorial review process before publication? 4. The listing covers a wide range of domains (aerospace, AI, cybersecurity, geopolitical risk); are you looking for generalists who can span several areas or specialists assigned strictly within one lane? Share those details and I can outline exactly how I'd approach the first project.
