Prior to joining Qi, she was an advocacy director at the [[Open Society Foundations]], combatting the corrosive effects of militarism on democracy in the United States and abroad.  In her nine years at OSF she helped build and lead a field of groups working to challenge reckless US arms sales, military assistance, use of force, and military spending.

"Based in Washington, DC, Lora Lumpe is a researcher and campaigner working on issues relating to military aid, the weapons trade and human rights. She is a senior associate working part time with [[PRIO]] on the Norwegian Initiative on Small Arms Transfers. 

"For the [[Norwegian Initiative on Small Arms Transfers]] (NISAT), she has just edited Running Guns: The Global Black Market in Small Arms (London: Zed/New York: St. Martins, 2000). Also for NISAT she is helping to develop an interactive Internet database of state-authorized small arms production and transfers (www.nisat.org) and helping to organize and mobilize activism in support of responsible governmental laws and policies to curb gun-running.

"She also currently consults for [[Amnesty International]] USA on the human rights implications of US military and police training programs around the world, and on US arms export policies more generally. 

"During 1998-1999 she was a senior researcher on staff at the [[Peace Research Institute]], Oslo (PRIO), where she developed a research program on small arms production and trade in support of the Norwegian Initiative on Small Arms Transfers--a coalition including Norwegian Red Cross and Norwegian Church Aid working to curb small arms proliferation and misuse. 

"Previously, Lora founded the Arms Sales Monitoring Project at the [[Federation of American Scientists]] in 1991 and directed it through mid-1998. This project works to reduce surplus production and export of conventional weapons, principally by the United States. 

"From 1988-1992 she worked in support of the negotiation and entry into force of a global treaty outlawing chemical weapons by managing a quarterly journal, the [[Chemical Weapons Convention Bulletin]]." <ref>[http://www.prio.no/page/Staff_detail/Staff_alpha_ALL/9375/37402.html Lora Lumpe], PRIO, accessed September 5, 2007.</ref>
