U.S. universities, colleges, and public libraries are encouraged to apply for U.S. Institute of Peace Public Education for Peacebuilding Support. Through this initiative, administered by IIE, USIP will enable American institutions and public libraries to hold events that advance and promote the understanding of peacebuilding and international conflict resolution.
The support may be used for a variety of activities or events, including educational or training workshops, lectures, speaker programs, library forums, and web-based forums. For more information or to download an application, please go to

USIP is an independent, nonpartisan institution established and funded by Congress to increase the nation’s capacity to manage international conflict without violence. By supporting events across the country that cover a wide range of peace and conflict mitigation topics, USIP aims to contribute in a significant way to the national conversation on addressing and preventing international conflict.
Over the next year, this initiative will provide $2000 each to 250 U.S. institutions and public libraries. The activity or event must address issues of international conflict and its resolution and be held during the Spring 2013 academic semester. The application deadline is November 1, 2012 and recipients will be announced in December 2012. All accredited U.S. colleges and universities, as well as public libraries are eligible to apply.
