Research

The DRRC's research agenda is carried out through eight ongoing programs:

• The grants program funds small research studies and provides seed money for major studies.
  
  
• The dinner colloquium provides an opportunity for the exchange of ideas between researchers and practitioners.
  
  
• The research seminar series enables faculty and students to keep abreast of the latest research being done at Northwestern and other universities.
  
  
• The work-in-progress seminars are a forum for sharing ideas that are under development, and an opportunity for researchers to receive advice about their research plans.
  
  
• The post-doctoral program provides an opportunity for new Ph.D.s, trained in the disciplines, to become involved in research and teaching in the area of negotiation and dispute resolution.
  
  
• Conferences provide opportunities to integrate a variety of perspectives on negotiation and dispute resolution topics.
  
  
• The working paper series disseminates the research being supported by the DRRC.
  
  
• The visiting faculty program provides an opportunity for in-depth discussions and the development of new research collaborations between faculty from other institutions and faculty and students associated with DRRC.
