47. MacArthur Foundation - Research and Writing Grants on Global Security and Sustainability

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation announces its annual competition for Grants for Research and Writing. Grants are available for the following purposes: to support innovation and excellence in the analysis of the causes, nature, and consequences of international conflict and cooperation, and in the development of improved understandings of human security; and to broaden and strengthen the community of writers and scholars engaged in work on global security, peace and sustainability. The program seeks to support research and writing projects, in any academic discipline or profession, that promise to illuminate the dynamics of international security or multilateral cooperation. It also fosters creative work conducted outside of traditional disciplinary and professional approaches.

Grants may be used in university and organizational settings, or may support independent researchers working outside of institutional contexts. Projects must be carried out by individuals or by two-person teams. Applicants may request up to $75,000 for individual projects, or $100,000 for two-person collaborations.

Applications must be received by FEBRUARY 1, 2000.
