The Mind Brain Behavior Interfaculty Initiative is pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for “small” MBB faculty awards. These awards fall into the $500 to $15,000 range and might typically, but not exclusively, be used for:

• Purchasing research equipment and supplies;
• Paying study participants and/or research assistants;
• Expenses associated with the planning and execution of an interdisciplinary workshop, conference, or seminar;
• Supplementing other project costs

All Harvard faculty members who currently work or wish to work in MBB-related fields are encouraged to apply. Please note: these awards cannot be used for salary support of faculty.

The small MBB faculty awards will support projects in FY24 - projects that are carried out between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024. These small awards are intended to support faculty members who want to examine MBB-related issues through interdisciplinary research, education, or other academic experiences. Proposals must be explicitly cross-disciplinary, involving at least two principals from different disciplines.

EXPECTATIONS: Award recipients will be expected to:

• Communicate their interdisciplinary experience and scholarly results. This might include a presentation to an MBB audience or a written report.
• Submit a final report to MBB, including financial summary, at the end of the award period.
• Submit copies of publications that result from the research, and acknowledge their MBB award.

APPLICATION DEADLINE:  March 20, 2023. We cannot accept late submissions.
