CFDA 91.005: Priority Grant Competition

Objectives

USIP grants increase the breadth and depth of the Institute’s work by supporting peacebuilding projects managed by nonprofit organizations including educational institutions, research institutions, and civil society organizations.

Eligible applicants

Nonprofit or public institutions are eligible to apply. USIP does not accept applications from individuals who are not affiliated with an eligible institution. Funding is not available for degree work (payment of tuition fees or support for M.A. or Ph.D.-related work). Inquiries for dissertation research support should be directed to USIP’s Jennings Randolph Peace Scholar Dissertation Program. Applications that list as participants, consultants, or project personnel members of USIP’s Board of Directors, staff or fellows will not be accepted. For additional questions regarding eligibility, please contact [email protected]. USIP does not fund grant proposals of a partisan political nature or proposals that would inject the grantee or USIP into the policy processes of the United States government or any foreign government or international organization. In addition, in accord with the United States of Peace Act, Section 1709 (b), USIP will not use political tests or political qualifications in selecting or monitoring any grantees. Projects that lead to policy recommendations for governments, international organizations, or nongovernmental organizations are welcome and encouraged, although such recommendations will be those of the grantee and not USIP. USIP does not provide support for the creation of a new organization, construction or maintenance purposes, direct social services, or microenterprise projects, nor does it provide funding to government agencies or to individuals working for government agencies. All application materials must be in English unless specified otherwise in the specific call for proposals. For additional information about eligibility, please consult the specific grant opportunity guidelines and the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page.
