For the FY19 grant cycle, the Faculty Grants Program is offering conference and research grants of approximately $50,000 each. Proposed conferences should take place at the Harvard Center Shanghai, preferably before December 2020. Conference proposals in all research fields are welcome. Research proposals are welcome in any field and the fund especially encourages proposals in the areas of traditional Chinese arts and culture, environmental studies and education.
Preference will be given to proposed projects for which funding might not be otherwise available from traditional sources. Proposals are judged partially or fully on the following criteria:
- Academic excellence and benefit to or involvement of Harvard faculty
- Feasibility, innovation, and interdisciplinary nature
- Organizational support (from Harvard and from Chinese universities and relevant institutions)
- Potential for impact in China
