Under the International Peace & Security program of the MacArthur Foundation, grants are offered in three specific domains: preventing nuclear terrorism and strengthening stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
In the prevention of nuclear terrorism, the Foundation seeks to prevent nuclear terrorism by denying terrorist access to the fissile materials (highly enriched uranium and plutonium) that are the key ingredients for nuclear weapons. As nuclear power becomes an important means of diversifying energy portfolios and reducing carbon emissions, fissile material stockpiles are set to grow, raising the risk of theft or diversion.
Under this category, the Foundation does not respond on an ad hoc basis to unsolicited letters of inquiry (LOI) on Nuclear Security Policy Research, but will consider them twice a year; deadlines are March 1 and September 1. It will review LOIs in an open and competitive process, and it will request a limited number of full proposals based on this review.
Asia Security Initiative (ASI) has sought to help foster effective policy responses to security challenges in the Asian region. Proposals are accepting for the following themes:
- Rising powers in Asia, particularly China and India – and the role of others, particularly Japan and the Republic of Korea.
- US role in the region, including rebalance and extended deterrence as well as Asian perceptions of, and reactions to, evolving US policies in the region.
- Geostrategic relationships, particularly US-China, China-India, India-Pakistan, China-Pakistan
- Leadership transitions/generational changes in Asia and implications for security
- Territorial disputes and maritime tensions
- Impact of resource competition on stability in the region
