Description
The Harvard Culture Lab Innovation Fund (CLIF) provides seed funding to students, staff, faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and fellows at Harvard University to pilot new or innovative ideas that advance a culture of belonging, mutual respect, and empowerment on campus. The fund is administered by the Office of Community and Campus Life and is intended to catalyze projects that have a direct, positive impact on the Harvard community, encouraging cross-disciplinary and cross-School collaboration. Projects should align with Harvard University’s Community Values and demonstrate potential for broader, university-wide impact.
