Description
The Lemann Brazil Research Fund supports research on current issues facing Brazil and fosters collaboration between scholars at Harvard and in Brazil. Made possible by a gift from the Lemann Foundation, it seeks projects addressing education management and administration, social science and its applications, public administration and policy, technological advances in education, and evidence-based research.
The fund also considers collaborations between Harvard faculty and researchers affiliated with Brazilian institutions in the life sciences, physical sciences and engineering, and basic and applied sciences. Projects in any field with potential for significant impact in Brazil related to education, public policy, economics, or human capital development are of particular interest. The Office of the Provost for Research administers the fund with the Office of the Vice Provost for International Affairs, in collaboration with the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies’ Brazil Studies Program and Brazil Office.
