Carnegie Corporation of New York awards $498,000 to The Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at Johns Hopkins SAIS for its International Policy Scholars Consortium and Network (IPSCON)

The Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at Johns Hopkins SAIS is pleased to announce that Carnegie Corporation of New York has awarded $498,000 to support the International Policy Scholars Consortium and Network (IPSCON). With support from Carnegie Corporation, IPSCON was created in 2013 to support graduate students interested in pursuing policy relevant careers in academia and the world of practice. IPSCON’s mission is to foster multi-disciplinary networks among senior and junior international relations scholars and to develop innovative approaches to teaching and research which can contribute to better policy making in the field of international affairs. The initiative is led by Johns Hopkins SAIS Professor Francis J. Gavin, Giovanni Agnelli Distinguished Professor and director of the Kissinger Center, and Professor James Steinberg, University Professor of Social Science, International Affairs and Law at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School. In addition to the Maxwell School and Johns Hopkins SAIS, the initiative includes scholar-practitioners from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Duke University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, and the University of Virginia (UVA).

 

The grant, which runs from 2020 through 2022, will enable the program to recruit and engage top Ph.D. students from diverse backgrounds. IPSCON will host mentoring exercises, dissertation and writing workshops, interactions with leading experts and policymakers, and interactive policy exercises, both online and in person. Additional information about IPSCON is available here.
