This Request for Applications (RfA) seeks research that strengthens our understanding of how multilateral institutions can be reformed to more effectively build and sustain peace. Priority will be given to research that identifies the factors impacting multilateral peacebuilding and conflict prevention and offers concrete recommendations to reform, rebuild, and sustain more effective institutions at the global and regional levels. Priority will be given to proposals that draw evidence from priority countries and regions, including Afghanistan, Burma, CAR, China, Colombia, the Horn of Africa, Iran, Iraq, Israel/Palestine, Libya, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, the Sahel, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, and Ukraine.
Problem Statement
With the emergence of China and the resurgence of Russia, and the growing involvement of both great and regional powers in intrastate conflicts, accepted norms of international behavior have come under intense pressure. Faced with changing geo-politics and reliant on outmoded forms of intervention, the multilateral institutions mandated to prevent, mitigate and resolve conflict are struggling to build effective partnerships with local actors to advance peace and a number face crises of both legitimacy and funding. Recognizing the need to adapt, several of these institutions including the United Nations, African Union, World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund have embarked on reforms and restructuring. While welcome, the practical impact of these in conflict-affected countries and communities remains an open question, particularly absent broader changes in member state practices.
Possible Research Questions
Grant and Fellowship Opportunities under the theme--Reinvigorating Multilateral Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding
USIP has launched two different competitions on the same theme--Reinvigorating Multilateral Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding. Individuals may apply to either the USIP Jennings Randolph Senior Fellowship or as a part of a team applying to the USIP Grant competition. Individuals may not simultaneously apply to or be a part of both competitions.
Only academic institutions or nonprofit organizations are eligible to apply. Applicants should have demonstrated experience in research and a strong record of scholarship related to international relations, political science, or peace and conflict studies. Applications will be selected based on their potential to make original contributions to the field by directly addressing one or more of the two listed topics above. USIP values qualitative, quantitative, and participatory research approaches.
Registration, Application Process, and Due Dates
USIP will seek applications from a diverse pool of researchers with project budgets between $100,000 and $150,000. Project implementation periods can range up to 24 months. Please direct questions about this RfA or usage of USIP’s online grants management system to Grants-Fellowships@usip.org.
