About the Fund
The President’s Administrative Innovation Fund provides competitive grants to Harvard individuals and teams with innovative ideas or pilots.
Grant Goals
These grants could be used to explore a new idea or process, build a prototype, take an existing homegrown idea to the next level, bring in a subject-matter expert to design a solution, convene a ‘hackathon’, or be used in any number of creative ways. Emphasis is placed on novel, creative, and collaborative solutions that capitalize on value-creating opportunities or address known challenges.
Ideas funded focus on
- Academic Excellence
- Talent Development
- Service Delivery
The Fund generally provides grants of $5,000 to $15,000, with the possibility of one or two exceptional projects that could receive funding up to $25,000.
