Funding Opportunities
for University of California
Graduate Students

The University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation provides funding for UC graduate students from all campuses through its annual fellowship, internship, and grant competition. It also provides intensive summer training programs in residence at UC San Diego.

Since its beginning, IGCC has committed significant resources to stimulating independent research and course development on the causes of international conflict and opportunities to promote international cooperation. Listed below are links to the guidelines and application materials for each type of award.

For Current UC Graduate Students Only

Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships

These fellowships are open to graduate students from all disciplines whose dissertation-level research addresses causes of international conflict and opportunities for international cooperation.

For UC Graduate Students, Post-Docs, and Professionals Interested in Nuclear Policy

Public Policy and Nuclear Threats 2010 Summer Boot Camp

The Public Policy and Nuclear Threats course is designed to cover important issues in U.S. nuclear strategy and policy, supported by an understanding of the scientific foundations of this policy. This course aims to give participants the knowledge and analytic tools to contribute to the debate on future U.S. nuclear policy.

The course includes lectures, discussions, and debates on a wide range of issues. During each week, participants will attend talks by distinguished researchers from academia and the Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, observe roundtable discussions with leading governmental and non-governmental experts, and enjoy events with current and former government officials responsible for nuclear policy.
