About

The Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd Program (PMBF Program) for Strategic Research and Studies, which is supported by the Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University Annual Fund, was established in 2012. The program is administered by the School of Politics, Security, and International Affairs in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida (UCF).

The program sponsors or co-sponsors public presentations by distinguished scholars and practitioners, an annual forum, student fellowships and research activities – all at UCF. The program seeks to advance public awareness and knowledge about the United States-Saudi Arabia relationship, including bilateral relations, security, culture and the economy.

Our Focus

The relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia has long been critical to regional stability in the Middle East. Recent events, however, have reshaped the political landscape and altered strategic realities throughout the region. It is now more important than ever to explore the ties that bind these two important nations together. The Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd Program for Strategic Research and Studies, established in 2012, seeks to advance public awareness and knowledge about the United States-Saudi Arabia relationship, with a focus on bilateral relations, security, culture and the economy.
