The mission of PARCC is to advance research on conflict and collaboration, including theory, practice, and education. PARCC grants research awards in the range of $500- $2000 to support research activities in our areas of focus: International and Interstate Conflicts, Environmental Collaboration, Collaborative Governance, and Advocacy and Activism. The awards selection is based on potential contribution to scholarship, possibility of future funding, consistency with the goals of PARCC, and cost-effectiveness. Funds are used for such activities as data acquisition, survey design, the hosting of research conferences at Maxwell, and research assistance. Faculty who are awarded a mini-grant then present their research at one of PARCC's weekly Conversations in Conflict Studies speaker series.
