In order to fulfill its mission, by means of squaring away resources and research opportunities, RCCHU fosters research fellowships at Harvard University through this program that makes funding opportunities on a competitive basis available to study at Harvard.

In order to promote talented researchers’ presence at Harvard University, RCCHU offers these fellowships that provide specific financial aid. The referred aid is available for carrying out a research project in the field of sciences, humanities, law, medicine, public health, political science and economy, sociology, education, engineering, architecture or any other field of study at any of the Departments, Schools or Centers at Harvard University.

Awardees may combine these grants with sabbatical or other stipendiary support from their home university for the same purpose. Candidates must be citizens faculty in regular service at one of RCCHU’s member universities and provide acknowledgement of support from Harvard University faculty, Department, Center or School for the intended short visit.

These research grants are available during the academic year and are addressed to full time faculty who are planning to develop a research project and are admitted as “Visiting Scholar”, “Visiting Researcher”, “Visiting Fellow’ or a similar category at Harvard University.

Applicants must submit all required admission materials that are specified in our current call.
