Description
Grants-In-Aid of Undergraduate Research supports Harvard College undergraduates undertaking faculty-supervised research in any subject area. Funded by the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University and presented through the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ), the program particularly encourages projects that facilitate senior honors theses or associated preliminary studies.
Priority may be given to research using MCZ or Harvard University Herbaria (HUH) research collections, laboratories, and other facilities, as well as related fieldwork. HUH funds specifically support HUH collections-based projects. Awards cover practical research needs, including laboratory supplies, travel to research sites, and stipends, with support available for academic-year and summer research.
