About USIP

Our Structure

The Institute is moving into a new and important phase in its history—one of increased impact, visibility, and influence.  The Institute recently reorganized its internal structure with an eye toward increasing impact, promoting innovation, and facilitating growth.

The new organizational structure includes three strategic centers organized around the outcomes our work is designed to achieve (playing a significant and successful role in  preventing armed conflicts; mediating and resolving them when they occur; and promoting post-conflict stabilization and democratic transformation). These strategic centers are:

• The Center for Conflict Analysis and Prevention
• The Center for Mediation and Conflict Resolution
• The Center for Post-Conflict Peace and Stability Operations

The new structure also includes the following four "cross-cutting" components:

• Education and Training Center
• Education and Training Center/Domestic
• Education and Training Center/International
• Grants and Fellowships Program
• Centers of Innovation
• Rule of Law
• Religion and Peacemaking
• Sustainable Economies
• Science, Technology and Peacebuilding
• Media, Conflict and Peacebuilding
