William F. Milton Fund
Deadline: October 1, 2014
Award Amount: $40,000

The purpose of the Milton Fund is to provide funding to facilitate new approaches, initiate new projects, and in particular, assist junior members of Harvard schools in establishing their research programs. The Milton Fund supports studies of a medical, geographical, historical, or scientific nature, which must be either in the interests of promoting the physical and material welfare of the human race, or of investigating and determining the value and importance of a discovery or invention. Preference is given to new and original projects, especially independent work of recently appointed young faculty members.
