PON's intellectual foundation includes nine Research Projects, each focusing on dispute resolution theory through a different lens and context. These projects engage many disciplines, including law, business, government, psychology, economics, anthropology, and education.
PON Initiatives: PON Initiatives provide support to faculty members to collaborate in exploring themes relevant to the field of negotiation and conflict management. Each initiative includes activities that involve additional PON faculty and act as catalysts for continued scholarship and research.
Harvard Negotiation Law Review: Central to PON's mission is mentoring and partnering with students. Educational programs for students include graduate-level courses and seminars at Harvard Law School. Students also contribute to the Harvard Negotiation Law Review, work as research and teaching assistants, participate in working groups and committees, and help organize conferences, film series, and other events.
The Dispute Resolution Directory: The Dispute Resolution Directory, an on-line resource hosted by PON, provides area students with an up-to-date listing of academic opportunities and internships focusing on alternative dispute resolution.
Graduate Research Fellows: To foster the next generation of scholars, PON offers support for Graduate Research Fellows and visiting scholars.
Next Generation Grants: Next Generation Grants support research in negotiation by non-tenured faculty and doctoral students within the interuniversity consortium.
Clearinghouse: For educators, scholars, and practitioners, PON publishes a wide range of negotiation teaching materials, including books, role simulations, videos, curricula, and working papers-available through the Clearinghouse, the resource center for negotiation education.
Executive Education Seminars: PON is among the world's preeminent executive negotiation training institutions. Thousands of professionals have learned to be better negotiators through PON's two- to three-day Executive Education Seminars.
The Program of Instruction for Lawyers: The Program of Instruction for Lawyers offers weeklong training workshops to improve negotiation and mediation skills.
PON Seminars: PON Seminars, semester-length courses on negotiation and mediation, are open to participants from all disciplines and professional fields. These courses are designed to increase public awareness and understanding of successful conflict resolution efforts.

These activities are open to students, faculty, and interested individuals, and include talks, panel discussions, the monthly Dispute Resolution Forum, films, and brown-bag lunch discussions.
