While the United States and Europe have taken significant action to assist Ukraine and pressure Russia, there is increasing pressure to “do more.” With Russian war crimes in plain sight and Ukraine unable to trade with the world to sustain its economy, many feel a moral imperative to intervene and end the war.

With a new grant from the NSF totaling nearly $750,000 — combined with a grant for $200,000 from the Carnegie Corporation of New York he received in May 2020 — Braumoeller’s research on the relationship between international order and international conflict can continue at a faster pace with more dedicated assistance.

The 2021 class of AAAS Fellows includes 564 scientists, engineers and innovators spanning 24 scientific disciplines.
