The Zuckerman Travel and Research STEM Fund at Harvard
The Zuckerman Travel and Research STEM Fund at Harvard
The Zuckerman Travel and Research STEM Fund at Harvard supports the development of new collaborative research between faculty members and researchers at Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences or the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and their STEM counterparts at Israel’s universities.
Established in 2021, the Zuckerman Travel and Research STEM Fund covers costs associated with collaborative meetings and travel, as well as technology, equipment and supplies, faculty and student support, and the publication and dissemination of research.
The Fund continues to support new advances in science while strengthening the powerful collaboration we enjoy with Harvard researchers. It enables current and alumni Zuckerman scholars and their supervisors to demonstrate leadership in their respective STEM fields and expand their canvas of scientific discovery.
The Zuckerman Travel and Research Fund Selection Committee accepted six proposals for 2023-2024.
