Russia

The Foundation first established a special grantmaking initiative for Russia in 1991 and has maintained an office in Moscow since 1992. The Foundation's grantmaking in Russia seeks to support universities and other institutions engaged in research and training; enhance the skills and capacities of scholar-practitioners, and sustain and encourage links among them and with their colleagues abroad; and support the development of effective human rights protections. The Foundation currently makes two types of grants in the Russian Federation: grants for universities and scholarly infrastructure, and for human rights.
