launched its inaugural Summer Research Program in Turkey. This year’s program is taking eight researchers to four cities — Washington, D.C., Istanbul, Ankara, and Gaziantep — to explore how government agencies, academics, NGOs, and the private sector are responding to the refugee and displacement crisis.
