Interested in coordinating an activity related to peacebuilding and international conflict resolution? Apply for support from the U.S. Institute of Peace.
Application Deadline: May 3, 2013
The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) and the Institute of International Education (IIE) are pleased to announce the launch of the second application cycle of the USIP Public Education for Peacebuilding Support (PEPS) initiative. Through this program, administered by IIE, USIP supports colleges, universities and public libraries in the U.S. and its territorial possessions to enable them to hold events that advance and promote the understanding of peacebuilding and international conflict resolution.
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, preventing, and resolving international conflict.
This initiative will provide $2000 each to 250 U.S. institutions and public libraries. Funding may be used for a variety of activities, including educational or training workshops, lectures, speaker programs, library forums or web-based forums. The activity must address issues of international conflict and its resolution and be held between August and December of 2013. The application deadline is May 3, 2013 and recipients will be announced in July 2013. For more information or to download the application, please go to
