The FAS Tenure-Track Publication Fund is intended to provide assistant and associate professors in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences with supplemental research funds to assist with costs related to scholarly publications, broadly defined. These needs might, for example, include research assistance, publication subsidies, copying, word processing, obtaining translations or illustrations, or creating footnotes or indices.

This is a targeted program that provides funding in the following three categories: 1) bridge funding, 2) seed funding, and 3) enabling subventions. This program is open to FAS and SEAS assistant, associate, and tenured faculty. Professors-in-Residence and Professors of the Practice are also eligible. Please click on the link above for full information.

This fund is intended to support creative, innovative initiatives in the arts and humanities, for projects led by members of the faculty within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and/or other schools. The Provostial Fund also welcomes applications to support faculty research, particularly for projects smaller than those now considered under the Dean’s Competitive Fund for Promising Scholarship. Applications for the fall semester 2024 (and beyond) are due Friday, February 9, 2024. Please note a new requirement for submitting proposals. For more information, please click on the link above.

This fund aids tenured FAS faculty members in bringing scholarly book projects to timely completion. All tenured faculty members in the FAS's Divisions of Arts and Humanities, Social Science, Science, and the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences are eligible to apply. The FAS will provide funds for 40 FAS faculty members to receive up to $5,000 apiece. These funds will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, to help defray eligible expenses. The Fund is meant to supplement other available means of support; faculty are expected to seek departmental, center-based, and external funds before applying to this Fund.

This grant program is sponsored by Harvard's Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity: "Research enabling grants (REGs) are intended to provide financial assistance to eligible faculty facing work/life or personal/family challenges that threaten to impede their academic research and/or their progress at Harvard."

To support their professional development, the Edgerley Family Dean of the FAS will reimburse tenure-track faculty up to $1,000 for activities they undertake to advance their development as scholars and teachers. For example, faculty members may choose to convene a group of Harvard or external scholars to provide feedback on a book manuscript or grant proposal. This $1,000 grant is included in the start-up package for new faculty, starting on July 1, 2010. Faculty hired prior to this date should use this application form for the purpose of reimbursement.
