The Zuckerman Travel and Research STEM Fund at Harvard

The Zuckerman Travel and Research STEM Fund at Harvard

Zuckerman-Harvard_Partnership

In an initiative to strengthen the Zuckerman STEM Leadership Program and further advance our existing relationship with Harvard University, we announced a new gift to enhance research and collaboration between Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Israeli universities.

Beginning in 2022, the Zuckerman Travel and Research STEM Fund at Harvard University will support faculty and student research in STEM-related ventures. Preference will be given to those conducting research in Israel in collaboration with Harvard University, at Bar-Ilan University, Ben- Gurion University of the Negev, University of Haifa, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Tel Aviv University, and the Weizmann Institute of Science.

The Fund will cover costs associated with research, travel, technology, equipment and supplies, faculty and student support, and the publication and dissemination of research.

Harvard University continues to be one of the top three universities, along with MIT and Stanford, whose scholars choose to conduct research in Israel, as well as a top choice for Israeli postdoc scholars. Current and alumni Zuckerman scholars and their supervisors continue to demonstrate leadership and make advances in science, while strengthening the powerful collaboration we enjoy with Harvard.

2022-2023 Call for Proposals will be announced shortly.
