About this program
The United States Institute of Peace funds research, education, training, and dialogue programs on international peace and conflict resolution through its Annual Grant Competition (CFDA 91.001), with the most recent grant award dated January 1, 2018—over eight years ago.
Program activity has declined significantly. The Institute disbursed 235 Project Grants totaling $12.7 million since 2000, but recent award volume has contracted sharply. From 2014 to 2015, the program averaged 11 awards per year; by 2016–2018, it dropped to 4.3 awards per year, with only 3 awards in the final year of recent record. No grant opportunities are currently posted or have been posted recently; the source contains no active NOFOs.
The program funds applied peacebuilding and conflict research projects with domestic and international scope. Recent awards support countering violent extremism (education and civic engagement programs targeting youth radicalization in Somalia, Tunisia, Kyrgyzstan), interethnic and interfaith dialogue and training (leadership workshops in Kenya, dialogue initiatives in Jerusalem and Palestine, religious radicalisation research in Tajikistan), peace settlement design and mediation processes, civil resistance analysis, post-conflict reintegration, and historical research on conflict dynamics and justice mechanisms. Representative awards include $133,131 for research on religious radicalization in Tajikistan, $150,000 for evaluating education's effects on youth violent extremism in Somalia, and $158,943 for an impact evaluation of vocational training in Afghanistan.
All 235 awards are Project Grants. The United States Institute of Peace is the sole funding agency. Typical award magnitudes range from $35,000 to $160,000; median awards cluster around $110,000–$120,000. Recent awards show completion timeframes of 12–24 months, though some extend to 30 months.
No recent grant opportunities are visible in available data, and the program's contraction since 2015 suggests limited current activity. Organizations considering this program should verify current funding status and solicitation timelines directly with the Institute before investing proposal development effort.
