The United States Institute of Peace was established to promote 
research, policy analysis, education, and training on international 
peace and conflict resolution.

The United States Institute of Peace is an independent, Federal 
institution created and funded by Congress to develop and disseminate 
knowledge about international peace and conflict

resolution. The Institute addresses this mandate in three principal 
ways:
    --by expanding basic and applied knowledge about the origins, 
nature, and processes of peace and war, encompassing the widest spectrum 
of approaches and insights;
    --by disseminating this knowledge to officials, policymakers, 
diplomats, and others engaged in efforts to promote international peace; 
and
    --by supporting education and training programs and providing 
information for secondary and university-level teachers and students and 
the general public.
    The Institute's primary activities are grantmaking, fellowships, in-
house research projects, public education and outreach activities, 
publications, and library services.
    The Grants Program provides financial support for research, 
information services, education, and training. Eligible grantees include 
nonprofit organizations; official public institutions, including public 
schools, colleges, universities, libraries, and State and local 
agencies; and individuals.
    The Jennings Randolph Program for International Peace provides 
fellowships to scholars, doctoral candidates, practitioners, and other 
professionals to undertake research and other appropriate forms of work 
on issues of international peace and the management of international 
conflicts. The Research and Studies Program conducts conferences, 
seminars, and study groups on issues of short- and long-term 
significance.
    The Jeannette Rankin Library Program has four main components: a 
specialized research library; a network with and support for other 
libraries, both private and public; an oral history resource; and 
bibliographic as well as other data bases.
    The Public Affairs Office fulfills requests for speakers, media 
services, and general inquiries, and conducts outreach programs in 
Washington, DC, and elsewhere. Institute-directed activities under the 
Education and Training Program include educational video programs, 
teacher training projects, and a National Peace Essay Contest for high 
school students. Institute publications include the Biennial Report to 
Congress and the President; a newsletter, Peace Watch; periodic papers 
on selected topics, Peaceworks; and monographs, books, and special 
reports generated from Institute-sponsored projects.
