The Central Asia Research and Training Initiative (CARTI) is a regional HESP program that promotes the development of indigenous capacities for original scholarly and academic work and internationalization of scholarship in the region of Central Asia including, but not limited to, the post-Soviet states of Central Asia and Mongolia. In working to enhance independent research of university-based academics, CARTI is committed to innovation in, and enrichment of, university teaching in the humanities and social sciences, and emphasizes the role of research in the development of academics as scholars in the classroom.

CARTI provides advanced training and networking opportunities, and supports innovative scholarly work of motivated young academics in their home academic environment. With CARTI support, fellows engage state-of-the-art resources, theories, methodologies, and approaches to research and teaching in the subjects and areas of importance to the scholarly and social development in the region, and develop positions of academic leadership in the region.
