Ford Foundation Funding - International Affairs Program
*****************************************************************
The following funding announcement appears on the Friends list a
while ago, and may be of interest to some members of the list.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Awards support research, training, policy development,
and public education on international law and organizations;
peace and security; international economics and development;
international human rights; and U.S. foreign policy and interna-
tional relations. Foreign and domestic institutions are eligi-
ble.
OBJECTIVES: The sponsor provides support to build intellectual
and institutional capacity at international, regional, and na-
tional levels that can contribute to peaceful cooperation and
change. This program has the following objectives: (1) to en-
hance the capacity of intergovernmental organizations; (2) to
include in policy debates representatives of international and
domestic non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and citizen
groups, scholars and practitioners, and men and women from di-
verse social and professional backgrounds; and (3) to educate
policy makers and the general public in the U.S. and abroad about
international affairs and the transnational political, social,
and economic forces that affect them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Specific interests include:
INTERNATIONAL LAW AND ORGANIZATIONS--Support is provided for
efforts to strengthen the ability of international and regional
organizations to facilitate international cooperation; and to
secure compliance with public international law and to build
knowledge about it among scholars and practitioners, especially
in developing countries.
PEACE AND SECURITY--The sponsor provides support for alternative
security and defense policies, promoting arms control and disar-
mament, and strengthening regional and international institutions
dedicated to the prevention or peaceful resolution or armed
conflict. Grants support a range of research and analysis on
such subjects as a cooperative international security system,
peace and security studies, and budgeting for lower levels of
defense spending and restructuring.
INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS AND DEVELOPMENT--Support is provided to
promote economic growth, the reduction of poverty, and sustain-
able development worldwide. The sponsor supports research and
policy analysis, and assists NGOs in their efforts to promote
international cooperation on the environment, development, and
the alleviation of poverty.
INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS--Support is provided to secure core
civil and political rights, strengthen the human rights provi-
sions of international law, and build strong international,
regional, and national institutions overseeing human rights
standards and humanitarian laws.
U.S. FOREIGN POLICY AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS--Support focuses
on improving U.S. responsiveness to the broad range of State and
nongovernmental issues arising in the post-cold war period.
Grants support the efforts of those seeking to achieve three
objectives: rethinking the content of U.S. foreign policy; pro-
moting participation, education, and leadership in the U.S.
foreign policy process; and increasing understanding among U.S.
policy makers and the public of the influence of transnational
social forces in international relations.
FORMER SOVIET UNION AND EASTERN EUROPE--The priorities are to
promote economic reform and ameliorate its negative social conse-
quences; to consolidate democracy through the reform of political
and legal institutions and the integration of international human
rights standards in domestic law and practice; and to strengthen
institutions of higher education and research in the social
sciences and law. The sponsor also seeks to enhance Western
understanding of events in the region.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
RESTRICTIONS: Eligible applicants include both U.S. and foreign
organizations. Most grants are given to organizations; however,
the sponsor also makes a few grants to individuals for research,
training, and other activities related to the sponsor's inter-
ests. Such grants are awarded either through publicly announced
competitions, or on the basis of nominations from universities
and other nonprofit institutions.
Support is not provided for undergraduate scholarships, purely
personal or local needs, the routine operating costs of institu-
tions, and, except in rare cases, the construction or maintenance
of buildings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Applicants should submit a letter of inquiry prior to submitting
a formal proposal. There are no application forms, but guide-
lines for proposals are provided. Applicants in foreign coun-
tries should direct their requests to the nearest overseas field
office, a list of which is provided in the sponsor's program
guidelines.
