FAS Office of Postdoctoral Affairs

The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs is an invaluable resource on getting started at Harvard; research funding, conduct, and training; career planning; benefits; finding community at Harvard; and many other things.

Tenured Publication Fund

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.

Faculty Development and Diversity (FD&D) Research Enabling Grant

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."

Application for FAS Professional Development Funds

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.
