This program is offered through GSAS and the Leadership Alliance.

​

During this 10-week program, Summer Research Opportunities at Harvard (SROH) interns conduct research and participate in discussions with Cambridge-based Harvard faculty, build their presentation and research discussion skills, and take part in field trips with other Harvard summer programs. Students in the program live in Harvard housing and enjoy access to the outstanding resources of the university.

​

The program is funded by GSAS, Harvard Molecules, Cells, and Organisms, Harvard Genes, Ecosystems, Organisms, and the Leadership Alliance.

​

Note that we also have funding for students interested in atmospheric sciences as part of the NSF-supported International Partnership in Cirrus Studies project, a collaboration including the University of Chicago, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Washington, and multiple European institutions. The University of Chicago has information on participating faculty. Research focuses on modeling and measurement of high-altitude clouds.

​

Applicants in the social sciences and humanities should feel free to write to the SROH program and indicate which Harvard faculty they have identified in their area(s) of interest and whether or not they have been in contact with said faculty.

​

NEW! The Department of the Classics would welcome applicants interested in fields related to Greco-Roman antiquity, including, but not limited to Republican and Imperial Latin literature, Cicero and Roman oratory, Latin historiography, reception of Latin literature, and the history of classical scholarship.
