The National Intelligence Strategy of the United States of America (NIS) is a product of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Drafted and implemented in 2005 while John Negroponte served as the DNI, it describes the drastic overhaul the United States (US) intelligence community will carry out.

The changes to the intelligence community, including changes in tasking, derive from the 2002 US National Security Strategy. The legal basis for the new strategy is derived from the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. The NIS was updated in 2009 under DNI Blair.

Focusing on the transportation of WMDs will require integration of the "analytic effort within the intelligence community, under the leadership of the National Counter-Proliferation Center." Support democratic, or aspiring democratic, governments: The NIS states that "failed states are a refuge and breeding ground of extremism." Therefore, the intelligence community must work to support new democracies, by providing predictive intelligence about potential
