Awards up to $25,000 will support projects critically threatened by federal funding cuts that seek bridging to other funding, or to early-stage research that will form the basis for proposals to external funding sources, or that will facilitate industry partnerships, or other research collaborations. The total funding available is $500,000.

“It has been a difficult month for many in our community, both here at Harvard and across the country,” said Vice Provost Jim Stock, Director of the Salata Institute. “These small grants are designed to help our world-class researchers reposition themselves as the funding landscape shifts so dramatically.”

Rolling submissions will be considered from June 1 to June 15. More information about the program can be found here.
