Support Our Research

We continue to deepen our work in critical areas and aim to expand into new areas, particularly as new crises begin and current crises evolve. The following are some of the areas that we are actively seeking flexible funding to support.

• Increasing our research on the nature of crises to provide evidence on how the humanitarian system can better anticipate and respond to crises. For example, the Constraints and Complexities of Information and Analysis Project is an effort to understand the availability and quality of information on food emergencies.
• Increasing research in conflict, transitional, and post-conflict settings. For example, the Mind the Gap Project aims to review and synthesize lessons from research linked to building livelihood resilience in conflict settings.
• Expanding and strengthening existing knowledge on child marriage in humanitarian settings to better inform policy and practice.
• Further developing work on the use of research and data for supporting victims of violence in justice processes by building on recent work with the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court.

Support Our Young Scholars

Our young scholars are researchers who are working towards or have recently received Ph.Ds. Specific support for young scholars will help them build their own research portfolios more quickly and enable Feinstein to expand the range of research areas we address. This in turn will provide valuable research to the humanitarian and development communities.

Learn about the groundbreaking projects our young scholars are committed to pursuing:

• Merry Fitzpatrick
• Anastasia Marshak
• Sabina Robillard

Support Our MAHAs

We administer the Master of Arts in Humanitarian Assistance (MAHA) degree program, which is jointly offered by the Friedman School of Nutrition and The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. We have trained and granted degrees to more than 100 individuals, most of whom continue in humanitarian work at senior positions in the United Nations, non-governmental organizations, and government. We are seeking funding for at least two full scholarships each year for international students. Learn more about the MAHA program here.
