Student Research Funding

Undergraduate Summer Research Fund

As part of its mission to enhance the undergraduate educational experience at Harvard through the support of environmental research, the Center established an Undergraduate Summer Research Fund in 2002. The Fund is a competitive summer research grant program for Harvard undergraduates created to support student research projects related to the environment. The grants are intended to support research related to the environment, with a preference given to rising seniors seeking funds for senior honors thesis research. Award amounts are normally between $500-$2,500.

Undergraduate Summer Research Assistantships

In Summer 2007, the Center expanded its opportunities for undergraduates by encouraging students to participate in summer research with Harvard faculty. The Center will pay for up to ten weeks of an undergraduate research assistant's time at a competitive hourly wage. We have collected a wide variety of research assistant opportunities from the Center's Faculty Associates and posted them here on our website. Interested students should approach faculty members whose work is of interest to them to see if their background is appropriate for a particular project.
