Program Areas...............................................................................

Grants may be considered for non-U.S. organizations in the following two program areas:

1) Population: The Foundation has three primary goals in this area--a) to increase the involvement of the public and private sectors, the media and educational institutions in population issues; b) to improve the delivery of family planning and related reproductive health services; and c) to evaluate and help replicate the impact of educational and economic development activities on fertility. Specific interests include:
- policy-oriented research and educational activities that inform policymakers in the U.S. and abroad about the importance of population issues;
- programs that develop and disseminate the knowledge and techniques needed to improve the quality and effectiveness of family planning activities, as well as support for evaluation of programs that address broader reproductive health concerns;
- human development activities and interventions that affect fertility, such as programs that enhance women's economic and educational opportunities, improve their legal rights, diminish gender inequities and foster female self-determination; and
- carefully selected research and development activities with the purpose of developing new and improved fertility control methods.

Note: The Foundation generally provides organizational, rather than project support and favors those organizations that seek to bridge the gap between research, policy formulation, and program implementation.

2) Conflict resolution: The Foundation favors general support grants intended to strengthen the institutional capacity of conflict resolution organizations and research centers. The Foundation generally does not provide funding for start-up efforts.
- Theory Development: The Foundation is particularly interested in university-based centers that demonstrate both a strong commitment to systematic, interdisciplinary research on conflict resolution and an ability to contribute to the improvement of conflict resolution practice.
- Practitioner Organizations: The Foundation supports new approaches and new applications of conflict resolution methods, the achievement of greater organizational maturity, and efforts to enhance the overall impact of practitioner organizations on the field and on the communities in which they work.
- Promotion of the Field: The Foundation supports organizations the a) educate potential users about conflict resolution techniques; b) serve the training and support needs of professionals and volunteers in the field of conflict resolution and/or promote the field as a whole.
- Consensus Building, Public Participation, and Policymaking: The Foundation assists organizations that demonstrate means of improving the processes of decision making on issues of major public importance.
- Emerging Issues: The Foundation considers a small number of proposals addressed to emerging issues in the conflict resolution field. Grants support short-term projects responsive to concerns such as evaluation and professional standards.

Restrictions and Limitations............................................................

Normally the Foundation will not consider grants for basic research, capital construction funds, grants in the medical or health-related fields, general fund-raising drives, or grants intended directly or indirectly to support candidates for political office or to influence legislation. The Foundation will not assume long term support of any organization or activity.
