Before filling out this application, read the Instructions.  Your application will not be considered if it is not complete; additional documents are required for a full application.

The IPRAF Foundations Peace Research Grant program is unique. If your grant proposal is rejected but is within the guidelines of our mission and vision, we will encourage you to revise and resubmit it, based on the feedback of our reviewers.

Please handle all your communications with IPRAF staff respectfully and politely. Two of the core values of the IPRA Foundation are:
-Positive Peace:  We value peace and justice by nonviolent means.
-Respect: We value respecting dignity, humanity, identity, and diversity.
Please be assured in working with us, that we will use these core values in our work.  Because our work depends on volunteer reviewers, we will notify you as soon as we can.  We will usually be able to give you a timeline of when decisions will be made and will notify you in a timely manner thereafter.  We keep a record of all communications with applicants.  

There are four documents needed to apply for a Peace Research Grant:

• This application form
• Your curriculum vita
• A letter of support from an official of an organization with which you have been associated, on that organization’s letterhead. This letter should be sent directly by its author to Crystal Money:  prg.grants@iprafoundation.org.
• Your Project Proposal

All fields are required unless marked “optional.”  Incomplete Applications will not be considered.

I understand that if my project is funded, a summary of the results of my research will be posted on the IPRA Foundation website.  The IPRA Foundation encourages grantees to also submit their research to additional publications. 

Reviewers may make suggestions for substantive changes during the review process. These changes must be made to your proposal and resubmitted to the PRG committee prior to funding. 

The IPRA Foundation understands that issues arise during research projects that are unforeseen.  Successful applicants may only modify proposals after being awarded a grant with the written permission of the Peace Research Grant Committee.  We promise grantees that the committee will quickly respond to your request for necessary changes.

Modification of a proposal after acceptance and without written permission will void that award and any money already received must be refunded to the IPRA Foundation. However, the entire proposal may be rewritten and submitted as a new proposal for the next cycle.

All funding decisions are final.  We do not accept complaints or arguments about the decisions of the IPRA Foundation and we will not respond to them.  We will not accept future applications from unsuccessful applicants who question the reviewers' decisions.
