Inter-University Consortium on Security and Humanitarian Action (IUCSHA).
Established in 2002 with a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Inter-University Consortium on Security and Humanitarian Action (IUCSHA) pursues two primary concerns: to better understand the complexities of humanitarian operations in the context of armed conflicts; and to invest in the next generation of analysts in New York graduate institutions by expanding cooperation and information exchange among such institutions as well as between younger scholars and networks of intergovernmental and non-governmental agencies. Full-fledged members include, The Graduate Center of the City University of New York (Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies, which also serves as the consortium’s secretariat), The New School University (International Center on Migration, Ethnicity, and Citizenship), and New York University (Center on International Cooperation). Columbia University also participates in many of the consortium’s activities, but funds its students directly from other Mellon support.
The primary activity of the IUCSHA is to provide fellowships of up to $10,000 for graduate students and recent PhD’s from the three full-fledged members to facilitate research and policy analysis. In addition, the consortium operates a forum for the presentation of sponsored research by Mellon Fellows. Lastly, the consortium has established an electronic network for generating and disseminating research on security and humanitarian action.
