Global Peace Operations Initiative is sponsored by Department of State. The GPOI program enhances international capacity to effectively conduct UN and regional peace operations. International peace operations are strategically important to U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives.
They represent a cost-effective tool for managing conflict, supporting stabilization in some of the world’s most volatile regions, and facilitating peacebuilding efforts, enabling the international community to share the burden of maintaining peace and security. The GPOI program is the primary mechanism through which the United States contributes to strengthening global capacity to conduct peace operations.
The program’s partnerships emphasize institutional capacity-building relationships and seek to strengthen partner countries’ capabilities to self-sufficiently train, deploy, employ, and sustain peacekeeping forces.
GPOI activities train and mentor partners to develop critical enabling and rapid deployment capabilities that are greatly needed and consistently requested to fill critical gaps in peace operations; increase the operational capacity of the UN and regional organizations to field more effective peace operations; and seek to develop and reinforce peacekeepers’ capabilities and commitment to protect civilians and promote the role of women in peace operations.

The Department of Defense FY2026 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) provides funding for U.S. universities to acquire research equipment and instrumentation in areas important to national defense, including AI and machine learning hardware. The program is administered jointly by the Army Research Office (ARO), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), with approximately $34 million available and 95 awards anticipated. DURIP funds the acquisition of specialized computing hardware for AI/ML research (GPU clusters, TPUs, neuromorphic processors), robotics and autonomous systems testbeds, sensor arrays and data collection systems for machine learning training, high-performance computing infrastructure for defense-relevant AI research, and laboratory equipment for human-AI interaction studies. The program specifically supports equipment that enhances research-related education in DoD-priority disciplines. While general-purpose computing is not eligible, computing equipment directly supporting DoD-relevant AI research programs qualifies. No cost sharing is required.
