The U.S. Institute of Peace offers financial support to nonprofit organizations and individuals (prefers institutional affiliation) for research, education and training, and the dissemination of information on international peace and conflict resolution. The Institute will consider grants for the following broad purposes:

1) to carry out basic and applied research on the causes of war and other international conflicts; on the ways in which conflicts have been or can be prevented, contained, or terminated; and on the condition and character of peace among states and peoples;
2) to develop curricula and texts for high school through post-graduate study and to conduct teacher-training institutes, workshops, and seminars on the causes of war, the processes of peacemaking, and the conditions of peace;
3) to conduct training, symposia, and continuing education programs for practitioners, policymakers, policy implementers, and the public that will develop their skills in international conflict management and war avoidance;
4) to undertake public information efforts, including development of video and radio projects, speakers' programs, community forums, debates, and the creation of complementary print or audiovisual materials to enhance public awareness of peacemaking and its complexities;
5) to increase information on international peace and conflict resolution and to enhance access to this information through the strengthening of library resources, the development of bibliographic databases and indexes, and the expansion of cooperative efforts in resource sharing.

Topic areas of most interest for unsolicited grants include but are not restricted to: conflict resolution; diplomacy negotiation theory; "two track" diplomacy; methods of third-party dispute settlement; international law; international organizations and collective security; deterrence and balance of power; arms control; psychological theories about international conflict; the role of nonviolence and nonviolent sanctions; moral and ethical thought about conflict and conflict resolution; and theories about relationships among political institutions, human rights, and conflict.

Priority is accorded projects that have practical application and that may be useful for policymakers.
