Is there a way to recover a directory that was accidentally deleted. It contained months of research, and no, there was no backup of it.

The short answer is: no.
A longer answer would need to know what sort of filesystem it was stored on and whether there has been any disk activity since deleting the directory.
But your chances are very small, without a backup.

One would think that anyone working with critical data, such as that, would make backups. They're easy enough to do, with CDR or pen drives. What I have often done, is periodically copied my work, from my computer to a server or other computer. If data is important and can't be easily recreated, backups are mandatory.
