Institute for the Study of International Migration is a private research institute located in Washington, DC. Founded in 1998 as part of Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, it is associated with the Georgetown University Law Center.[1] The Institute for the Study of International Migration (ISIM) is an innovative multidisciplinary center that studies the social, economic, environmental, and political dimensions of international migration.[2]

ISIM focuses on all aspects of international migration, including the causes and responses to population movements, immigration and refugee law and policy, comparative migration studies, immigrant integration in host societies, and the effects of international migration on social, economic, demographic, foreign policy, and national security concerns.[3] ISIM also studies internal displacement, especially the forced displacement of people moving for reasons that would make them political or environmental refugees if they crossed an international border.[4]

The institute relies for funding on a multitude of government and independent grant-making agencies, including:[5]
