Research Programs

The Davis Center supports both individual research and targeted 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. Targeted research programs build resources and expand scholarship related to a particular topic or area.

Graduate students may apply for research travel grants.

Undergraduate students may apply for Goldman research travel grants.
