Directory of Programs

PDP is based at the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School (PON). PON is an inter-university consortium (Harvard, MIT, and Tufts) devoted to improving the theory and practice of dispute resolution. PDP's goal is primarily theory-building. To apply the ideas developed at PDP, PDP has spun off The Consensus Building Institute (CBI). This is a not-for-profit firm, established in 1993, that provides dispute resolution services around the world. 

In partnership with the University of Massachusetts-Boston, MODR provides research opportunities for faculty, and practical training and internships for students on multi-party public policy disputes and the use of collaborative approaches in the public sector. It provides a variety of ADR services to all branches of state government and municipalities. Primary Activities: Policy Development, Implementation of Policy, Training (short-term), Evaluation, Project Management and Technical Assistance. Primary Audiences: University (administration), Elected Officials (state and local/city), Agency Officials (state and local/city), Nonprofits, Foundations and Businesses.
