The Harvard Sussex Program (HSP) is a collaborative effort on chemical biological weapons disarmament between Harvard University and Sussex University.

The program publishes a quarterly newsletter "The CBW Conventions Bulletin".

The program is also well known for its unique large archival collection of CBW related docuements at Sussex.

HSP is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) that has inlfuenced policy creation from within the United States and Great Briton on the formation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and reviews of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC).
