Description
The IPRA Foundation Peace Research Grants Program supports scholars conducting small research projects on the conditions of peace and the causes of war and other forms of violence. The Foundation, the grant-making arm of the International Peace Research Association, seeks rigorous, interdisciplinary investigation that informs alternatives to violence and advances nonviolent peace strategies.
The program values original, socially relevant research that engages stakeholders, respects dignity and diversity, and empowers people within vulnerable and marginalized communities. It emphasizes researchers lacking access to conventional funding and projects rooted in the communities studied. Established in its current form in 2013, the program builds on a peace research funding effort begun in 2002, with projects supported across diverse countries and communities.
