Climate Research Clusters
The new Climate Research Clusters program will support ambitious, university-wide endeavors that produce useful and practical solutions to pressing climate problems. Research clusters will represent interdisciplinary efforts to take on climate problems that are narrow enough to ensure concrete solutions, but broad enough to ensure significant progress in meeting the world’s climate challenge. The Salata Institute is currently soliciting new cluster proposals. Concept proposals are due by April 1, 2024.

The Salata Institute
The Salata Institute supports interdisciplinary research that leads to real-world action, including high-risk/high-reward projects by researchers already working in the climate area and new endeavors that make it easier for Harvard scholars, who have not worked on climate problems, to do so.
An Opportunity to Take Action
For students and alumni, the Salata Institute will serve as a gateway to information about ways to contribute to climate and sustainability efforts on campus and beyond.
