The National Bureau of Asian Research is committed to advanced independent research on issues affecting U.S. relations with Asia. Much of NBR’s research is undertaken by the world’s best specialists, working under contract on specific research projects. Our policies prohibit outside interference in any of our research. NBR reserves the right to choose the researchers on a specific project and allows no outside interference with the research, writing, and editing of reports. Our specialists reach their own conclusions and policy implications, which are subject to peer review before publication.
Funding for NBR’s research comes from foundations, corporations, government departments and agencies, individuals, and NBR itself. NBR undertakes a small amount of contract work for public and private sector organizations, but always reserves the right to publish findings from such work. NBR does not undertake classified or proprietary research work and adheres to strict policies to avoid conflicts of interest.
