Read the Instructions for the Peace Research Grants thoroughly.
Applications will only be accepted during the application windows.
Only one grant will be awarded to any applicant from either the Peace Research Grant Program or the Small Peace Research Grant Program. If you have previously received a grant, please do not apply for another.
The Peace Research Grant Administrator will do an initial review of your project for this award. If your application is deemed suitable, it will be sent out to three IPRA Foundation board members for review.
Applicants may receive only one Peace Research grant. The IPRA Foundation Peace Research Grants are small grants intended to assist scholars in undertaking small research projects. These grants are to individuals, not to institutions or organizations. The Foundation does not not allow overhead costs or indirect administrative costs to be covered as part of the grant. The Foundation does not allow rent and other normal living expenses as part of the budget.
The IPRA Foundation invites proposals that are in line with our Mission, Vision and Core Values:
