PhD students enrolled in U.S universities who are writing doctoral dissertations on subjects generally related to conflict management, peace building, and pertinent security studies are eligible to apply for non-residential fellowships through the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) Peace Scholar Fellowship program.
371 young scholars have had their dissertations supported by the program since 1988, and many of them have gone on to outstanding careers in research, higher education, and policymaking.
Additional fellowships in the area of peace and security studies are supported through a partnership between this program and the Minerva Research Initiative. The program currently provides up to 18 scholarships each year, which help with both the research and writing phases of dissertation preparation.
Information About United States Institute of Peace (USIP).
The promotion of conflict prevention and resolution internationally is the responsibility of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), an American federal organization. It offers people training in diplomacy, mediation, and other peace-building techniques as well as research, analysis, and training.
The USIP was formed in 1984 as a result of Congressional legislation that was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan, following years of requests for a national "peace academy." It is formally nonpartisan and independent, and to avoid outside interference, it only receives financing through a congressional allocation.
The president appoints and the Senate confirms the fifteen members of the bipartisan board of directors, which must include the secretary of defense, the secretary of state, and the president of the National Defense University.
The Institute's main office is located in Washington, D.C.'s Foggy Bottom area, next to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall's northwest corner. Since its founding, it has taught more than 65,000 professionals and today employs about 300 people.
