Each year, the Advanced Consortium on Cooperation, Conflict, and Complexity (AC4) funds select Columbia University graduate students conducting interdisciplinary research in areas addressing conflict, violence, sustainable development and peace. In 2015, AC4 will fund 10 students for up to $3,000 and one team of students for up to $6,000.

Two of the 10 students will be awarded these funds in support of an internship. Team applicants must present a truly interdisciplinary research proposal. Students may not
apply to both. Projects might include, but are not limited to: doctoral students’ dissertation research, master’s students’ thesis research, or capstone projects.

Eligibility and Restrictions:
Applicants must be graduate students of Columbia University enrolled in degree programs, and be conducting interdisciplinary research/practice-based projects relating to conflict, violence, sustainable development and/or peace. In addition, fellows are required to spend these monies by December 15, 2015. Please note: all current MS, MA & PhD students  are eligible.
