Call for Proposals: Understanding the Forces Shaping the Global Order (United States)

Deadline: 28-Jan-2024

Carnegie Corporation of New York has launched a request for proposals that will advance and disseminate knowledge and understanding about the key determinants and consequences of the evolving global order.

Funding Information

• Through a competitive process, a small number of proposals will be selected for philanthropic grants of between $300,000 and $500,000 as one-time funding. The projects may run for up to 24 months. Finalists will be invited to submit a full proposal by April 2024. Recommendations for support will be made at the September 2024 meeting of the Corporation’s board of trustees, with a project start date of October 1, 2024.

Proposal Content

• Proposals should address one or more of the following questions:
  • What are the types of political networks — alliances, coalitions, informal groups — that are (and will be) influencing the global order and to what end?
  • What are the major factors — technological, economic, geostrategic, etc. — at national, international, or transnational levels that are playing (and are likely to play) a prominent role in the evolution of the global order and how will those factors play out?
  • What is the global order likely to look like in 10 years — and why?
• Strong proposals will:
  • Identify the knowledge gap that will be filled by this project.
  • Offer novel insights using new or overlooked information, methodologies, or research.
  • Explain the project’s policy relevance.
  • Include non-American views and perspectives.
  • Engage academic and practitioner communities.
  • Involve experts from underrepresented communities in the United States.

Eligibility Criteria

• Projects may be based upon past or ongoing work but must represent a substantially new inquiry or idea.
• Think tanks, university-based centers, and independent nongovernmental organizations are eligible to apply. Individual researchers will not be considered.
• Applying organizations must be based in the United States but are encouraged, where applicable, to have international partners.
