Since the founding of PON in 1980 faculty research has been instrumental in forming negotiation as a field of interdisciplinary academic inquiry and real world application. Innovative contributions to negotiation scholarship also inform negotiation as a subfield within the many traditional disciplines of PON faculty home departments. These disciplines and departments include law, business, psychology, public policy and planning, and international relations.
Each PON project is headed by a faculty member tenured at one of the consortium universities; Harvard, MIT, and Tufts. Publications from these projects have influenced both academic study and popular understanding of negotiation. New and continuing projects approach negotiation from a wide range of disciplinary approaches in basic, applied, legal, and action research.

The Dispute Resolution Program promotes research and experimentation on the ever-increasing array of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, with major emphasis on how these procedures are used as part of the court system. With faculty based at the Harvard Business School, the Program also focuses on organizational policies and initiatives to resolve both external and internal disputes.

The Program on Negotiation Graduate Research Fellowships are designed to encourage young scholars from the social sciences and professional disciplines to pursue theoretical, empirical, and/or applied research in negotiation and dispute resolution. Consistent with the PON goal of fostering the development of the next generation of scholars, this program provides support for one year of dissertation research and writing in negotiation and related topics in alternative dispute resolution, as well as giving fellows an opportunity to immerse themselves in the diverse array of resources available at PON.

The goals of the Harvard Negotiation Research Project (HNRP) include strengthening the theoretical underpinnings and empirical scholarship related to negotiation and dispute resolution, and developing the practical tools that translate theory into practical processes for parties engaged in conflict. PON Faculty Chair Professor Robert Mnookin is the HNRP director. View posts associated with this project »
The MIT-Harvard Public Disputes Program, one of the largest and busiest components of the Program on Negotiation, is an internationally known center for action research committed to a new way of thinking about and resolving disputes in the public sector. Put most simply, the Public Disputes Program exists to replace "win-lose" outcomes with "all-gain" solutions to highly controversial and complex problems of public policy making.

Negotiation Pedagogy at the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School (NP@PON) is dedicated to improving the way people teach and learn about negotiation. Incorporating and expanding upon the historical mission of the PON Clearinghouse, NP@PON serves as PON's intellectual focal point for negotiation education. View posts associated with this project »
The Negotiations Research Network (NEG), part of the Social Science Research Network (SSRN), is an on-line venue providing access to working papers and professional announcements of interest to the negotiation and dispute resolution community. Directed by PON Executive Committee member Max H. Bazerman, NEG is one of a number of specialized networks SSRN has organized for the worldwide dissemination of research in all of the social sciences. View posts associated with this project »
The Program on Negotiation's Next Generation Grants Program supports research in negotiation and conflict resolution by non-tenured faculty and doctoral students. Faculty and students from any school or department within PON's interuniversity consortium may apply. View posts associated with this project »
The Negotiation in the Workplace Project is a collaboration among scholars who address the multiple changes, challenges, and transitions happening in today’s workplace. They examine negotiated approaches to change as a core competency -- not just a helpful skill -- as work becomes more knowledge-driven and as competitive pressures become more intense. Co- directors are Deborah M. Kolb, The Deloitte Ellen Gabriel Professor for Women and Leadership, Simmons School of Management and Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, Dean, Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations, University of Illinois View posts associated with this project »
Over the past 25 years, experimental approaches to study decision making in negotiation have blossomed. The study of biases in negotiation has been one significant focus. In recent years, the most exciting new efforts are on the periphery of the study of decision making in negotiation, bringing in issues related to trust (the work of Iris Bohnet and Deepak Malhotra), emotions (the work of Jennifer Lerner), and morality and ethics (the work of Max Bazerman and Joshua Greene). This new research project, Trust, Emotions, Ethics and Morality in Negotiation (TEEM), is an integrated effort to create, organize and disseminate a new generation of research that integrates these cutting-edge themes, enhancing scientific and practical understanding of how decisions influence negotiated outcomes.
