United States Institute of Peace federal obligations

Peacebuilding research on a 9-award ledger

USIP’s public work includes research, training, and convening on conflict. None of those publication or training counts are in this packet. $8,568,246 through FY2026 is what the Institute obligated on federal awards tagged to CGAC 458. Dividing by 9 awards yields about $952,027 per award. That near-seven-figure mean on a single-digit count means a handful of vehicles dominate the average.

A nine-row book is easy to swing. One new award or one closeout can move $8,568,246 more than the same change would move a high-volume grant catalog. This page does not name the 9 awards; the packet has no award IDs.

What the $8.6 million leaves out

State Department and USAID peacebuilding programs use other CGACs. Their dollars are not inside these 9 rows. Mixing those books with $8,568,246 would treat USIP as if it were the entire U.S. peacebuilding budget. It is not.

Institute staff salaries generally never appear as USAspending awards. Private grants to USIP that never become federal awards also stay off this table. The $8.6 million is complete as an awarding-agency total for CGAC 458; it is incomplete as a picture of all resources the Institute may use.

FY2026 cutoff

Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year on the packet. The $8,568,246 is cumulative through that horizon, not a single-year appropriation. Multi-year research or facilities instruments remain in the running total until closed.

Outlays are unpublished. Treat the figure as commitments for awarding agency 458. Concentration means readers should open the live award table rather than trusting a mean alone.

CGAC 458

United States Institute of Peace rows use awarding-agency code 458. SpendingVault’s /agencies/458/ path is keyed to it. Code 458 is an identifier, not a conflict-dataset code. Other foreign-affairs bodies keep their own awarding-agency totals.

State tables on nine rows

With 9 awards, the state table can look sparse. One or two jurisdictions may hold most of the $8,568,246 depending on USAspending location fields. That is not a map of conflict zones. It is vendor and place-of-performance geography on a short award list.

Open the USIP agency page for the live $8,568,246 and 9-award filters. Use the all-agencies directory to find CGAC 458. Dollar rank among independents is not a ranking of global conflict.

Publications, convenings, and a nine-row federal book

USIP reports, trainings, and convenings are the Institute’s public products. They are not the 9 USAspending awards. A busy publications year can leave $8,568,246 unchanged. A research or facilities vehicle can dominate the mean of about $952,027 because the denominator is nine. One closeout can move this book sharply.

State Department and other foreign-affairs awarding agencies fund related work under other codes. Their dollars are not inside these 9 rows. Mixing those books with $8.6 million would treat USIP as if it were the entire peacebuilding budget. This page stays on CGAC 458.

With 9 awards, the state table can look sparse. One or two jurisdictions may hold most of the dollars. That is not a map of conflict zones. FY2026 is the cutoff. Refresh the USIP agency page after warehouse updates. Staff salaries generally never appear among the 9 rows. Outlays are unpublished. The packet has no award IDs, so this file does not name the instruments.

Training-day counts and publication counts are Institute statistics. They are not the 9 awards. A busy training calendar can leave $8,568,246 unchanged. A research vehicle can dominate the mean of about $952,027. Open the live nine-row table rather than treating the average as a typical grant. FY2026 is the cutoff. Use the USIP agency page for CGAC 458. Other foreign-affairs awarding agencies keep separate books. Outlays are unpublished. The packet has no award IDs.

Overseas field work can be staff-delivered and never appear among the 9 awards. Conversely, a domestic research vehicle can dominate $8,568,246. The mean of about $952,027 is sensitive to a single row. FY2026 is the cutoff. Use the USIP agency page for live CGAC 458 tables. Keep this book unmerged with State or other foreign-affairs awarding agencies. The packet has no country split. Outlays are unpublished.

Questions

How much has the U.S. Institute of Peace obligated?

USAspending.gov shows $8,568,246 in USIP obligations through FY2026 across 9 awards. Awarding-agency CGAC 458 is the filter. The total is not a count of trainings or publications and not the State Department’s peacebuilding book. USAspending.gov records this as awarding-agency obligations through FY2026, not cash outlays. The live table for CGAC 458 is the source for the current 9-award book.

Why are there only 9 USIP awards?

The extract counts 9 instruments for CGAC 458. Dividing $8,568,246 by that count yields about $952,027 per award. Concentration in a few vehicles is the structure of this book. The packet has no median and no award IDs. That figure uses only the packet totals. The extract has no median and no contract-versus-assistance split. FY2026 is the warehouse cutoff, not a single-year appropriation.

What is agency code 458?

458 is the USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifier for the United States Institute of Peace. SpendingVault uses it in /agencies/458/. State and USAID use different codes. SpendingVault URLs under the agency path filter to that CGAC identifier. It is an accounting tag, not a quality score. Totals on this page are obligations through FY2026.

Does $8.6 million include all U.S. peacebuilding spending?

No. Other agencies award related work under other CGACs. This page reports only USIP’s $8,568,246 on 9 awards through FY2026. Outlays are unpublished in the packet. Outlays are unpublished in this packet, so this page does not estimate cash already paid. Refresh the agency page after USAspending updates rather than treating the current stock as frozen.
