Description
Harvard University’s Lemann Brazil Research Fund fosters collaboration between scholars and supports research on current issues facing Brazil. It is made possible by a gift from the Lemann Foundation and administered by the Office of the Provost for Research and 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.
The fund seeks projects addressing education management and administration, applications of social science, public administration and policy, technological advances in education, and evidence-based research. It also considers projects proposing collaboration 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.
