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 aregrantmaking,fellowships, in-
