"In every way possible, NCEEER support marks a significant turning point
in my career, in terms of analysis, which moved from qualitative to
quantitative, in terms of the subjects analyzed, and in terms of the
journals to which papers were submitted. I am truly grateful to NCEEER
for its support."

NCEEER was created in 1978 to develop
and sustain long-term, high quality programs
of post-doctoral research about the social, political, economic and
historical development of
Russia,
Eurasia, and Eastern Europe. Among national research organizations,
NCEEER is the largest provider of resources to U.S. scholars for postdoctoral
research in these fields. Its support for research on the
region has produced direct benefits for U.S. policymakers, the academic
community, nonprofit organizations and American business. The projects
it has funded have helped people from all of these fields gain a better
understanding of current developments and future prospects in the
post-communist countries of Europe and Eurasia. NCEEER has also been involved in
bringing to the attention of Congress and the executive branch the national
interest served by the exchange of ideas among professionals in academia and
government.
NCEEER
is now building on this track record by forming institutional partnerships that can serve
the needs of both American scholars and their counterparts from Eastern
Europe and the former Soviet Union. Thanks to agreements with several different organizations, NCEEER can now
offer American scholars access to field offices in almost every country of
Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. NCEEER has also signed agreements with universities and research institutes
in these countries, in order to facilitate field research by American
scholars and encourage collaboration between Americans and colleagues from
the region on research projects. NCEEER's staff and Board of Directors
are committed to doing all that they can to ensure that, notwithstanding the
rapid changes taking place in this region, American scholars will continue to
be able to generate the knowledge and ideas that can be the basis of a
well-informed U.S. policy
toward Eurasia and Eastern Europe.
NCEEER
is committed to making the results of the research that it supports
accessible to both the U.S. government and the general public. NCEEER publishes a series of working
papers, which are distributed to government agencies and which are now
available to individuals, upon request. These papers are also collected in NCEEER's Toumanoff Library, which is
open to the public.
NCEEER
has recently established the Edward L. Keenan NCEEER Endowment. The income generated by the Endowment will help NCEEER to maintain its
support for high-quality scholarship in the context of rapidly changing
conditions.
