AGENCY: United States Institute of Peace.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Agency announces its ongoing Priority Grant Competitions. 
The Priority Grant Competitions are restricted to projects that fit 
specific themes or topics identified by USIP as a priority.
    The current Priority Grant Competitions are outlined below.
     Reassessing Peacebuilding in Uncertain Times--In this 
uncertain and fluid context, USIP is inviting innovative proposals from 
U.S.-based academic institutions, research and practitioner 
organizations, and others for collaborative projects that reflect on, 
help clarify, and flesh out one or more key issues and propose new 
approaches and responses to peacebuilding challenges. The deadline for 
submitting initial concept notes is March 21, 2017. For more 
information: https://www.usip.org/grants-fellowships/grants/reassessing-peacebuilding-uncertain-times.
     What Makes for Effective Peace Processes: A Comparative 
Approach--Under this grant competition, the United States Institute of 
Peace encourages proposals for research and analysis on what makes a 
complex peace process effective, how the success of a peace process is 
defined, and if successful processes share common elements. The 
deadline for submitting initial concept notes is March 21, 2017. Awards 
will be made in September, 2017. For more information: https://www.usip.org/grants-fellowships/grants/what-makes-effective-peace-processes-comparative-approach.
