The Radcliffe Engaged Student Grant Program (link) provides $1,500 grants (one grant per project) to support the research, creative, and service work of Harvard undergraduate and graduate students on topics related to Radcliffe's focus areas:
- Climate Change, including Climate Justice
- Academic Freedom and Connecting across Difference
Proposed projects can explore academic research, creative pursuits (such as those using art, writing, or multimedia), or the design of an original service project. Service projects must be grounded in research and include a critical analysis of the work to be undertaken.
Students may submit applications as individuals or groups; however, we can only accept one application per project.
Students are responsible for obtaining appropriate approval for Human Subjects Research, if applicable. We encourage interested students to visit Harvard’s Committee on the Use of Human Subjects website for detailed information. Undergraduates may also refer to the Undergraduate Research Training Program (URTP), a comprehensive platform to assist and create better-prepared undergraduate researchers.
Grant recipients will join a student cohort and receive mentoring and support from Radcliffe staff as well as each other. Cohort meetings will occur on a biweekly basis during summertime 2025.
