Research Programs Extraordinary research opportunities are available to you at Harvard.
Many students participate in research through term-time or summer employment .
The research programs that the Student Employment Office administers will help you find faculty mentors and financial support for your work. The wages provided by the programs enable you to spend time on your academic interest rather than in more traditional employment. Reimbursement for research expenses is also available, allowing you to try something new, diverge from your faculty member's funded research, or enhance your own project through travel. We recommend that students interested in research take a look at the Undergraduate Research Opportunities booklet available on this website. The publication lists FAS faculty members and their fields of interest along with information on the research programs.
