De-escalating tensions in the areas of the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and the Indo-Pacific where deterrence mechanisms are underdeveloped, under stress, or breaking down.

Countering the tactics used by U.S. adversaries to incite conflict and undermine U.S. influence in countries of strategic importance.

ELIGIBILITY:

Applications will be selected based on the strength of the proposed research and its potential to make original contributions to the field. Applications that do not address a topic listed above or draw a clear connection to either the USIP or Minerva mission will not be considered.

Applicants must prepare and submit an online application. USIP will not provide status updates on submitted applications.
