Research Programs

The Davis Center supports both individual research and sponsored research programs on Russia and the nations and countries that surround it. Individual researchers work on their own projects while enjoying a collegial atmosphere for scholarly exchange and discussion. Sponsored research programs build resources and expand scholarship related to a particular topic or area.

Davis Center Affiliations

Each academic year, the Davis Center offers a small number of funded research fellowships.

The Davis Center hosts scholars on sabbatical leave from their home universities or those with outside funding as Visiting Scholars.

Scholars residing permanently in the Boston area with an interest in Russia or Eurasia may apply to become Center Associates.

Support for Harvard Faculty

Harvard faculty are invited to become Faculty Associates and are eligible to apply for funding to support their research.

Sponsored Research Projects

Typically supported with outside funding from private or public foundations, current sponsored research projects at the Davis Center include the Program on Central Asia and the Caucasus, the Project on Islam in Eurasia, the Project on Cold War Studies, the Project on the Russian-Speaking Jewish Diaspora, and the Working Group on the Future of U.S.-Russia Relations.
