FAS Research and Academic Exchange for Late-Stage Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows: Spring 2025 Application Now Open!

What is the FAS Research and Academic Exchange?
The goal of the FAS Research and Academic Exchange is to diversify the future professoriate by creating robust professional development, mentoring, and networking opportunities. Harvard is committed to providing opportunities to program participants that support the advancement of underrepresented minority graduate and postdoctoral scholars and help them develop and maintain an interest in pursuing academic careers.
Harvard will sponsor an eligible late-stage doctoral student or postdoctoral fellow’s week-long visit to campus with a host faculty member. During their stay, visitors will interact directly with Harvard faculty, engage in collaborative discussion for innovative problem solving, develop new research techniques or leverage Harvard’s network of libraries and museum collections, and build relationships with peers and scholars in their field.
Host faculty members may be from any of the departments within Harvard FAS’s Divisions of Science, Social Science, and Arts and Humanities, and from academic areas in the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). Visits are normally expected to last about one week (3-7 days), and travel and accommodation support will be in the form of travel reimbursement.

Who is eligible to participate?
This week-long research visit program is open to individuals who are from, or support, populations historically underrepresented in the US research enterprise, as defined by Congress. These include, but are not limited to:

• Individuals from racial and ethnic groups that have been shown to be underrepresented in academia.
• Individuals with disabilities, defined as those with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
• Individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, defined as those who meet two or more of the criteria described on this page.
• Individuals who identify as a sexual or gender minority who is underrepresented on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
• Others whose backgrounds and experiences would diversify the professoriate in their academic fields.

Additionally, eligible doctoral students will have passed their qualifying exams.

When are applications due?
Applications for spring 2025 are now open! Candidates must apply no later than November 1st to be considered for a visit in the spring 2025 semester.
