Description
Ohio State University’s Mershon Center for International Security Studies offers Affiliate small grants as supplemental support for research-relevant activities by its faculty and graduate student affiliates. The program supports travel, publication subventions, programming, and other purposes connected to research. Its scope reflects the Center’s focus on international, national, and human security, including diplomacy, conflict, peacemaking, governance, and cooperative problem-solving, with particular emphasis on the human and social dimensions of security.
Mershon encourages interdisciplinary, collaborative, and engaged research, including work with clear implications for policy or practice. Traditional scholarship is also welcome when researchers place their work in active dialogue with the Mershon community. Applicants should explain why the Center is an appropriate home for their project and articulate its broader value.
