The Faith-Based Communities Security Program (FBCSP) is led by Rutgers professors John J. Farmer, Jr. and John D. Cohen, both of whom are involved with the Rutgers Institute for Emergency Preparedness and Homeland Security. Establishment of FBCSP follows an Inter-faith Leadership Summit convened at Rutgers in September 2014 to assist Cohen and Farmer in identifying the security threats facing Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, and other communities of faith. FBCSP is supported by a major gift from retired pharmaceutical executive Paul S. Miller, a Rutgers Law alumnus, through the Miller Family International Initiative Fund.
