Lemann Brazil Research Fund
Deadline: January 15, 2024
Award Amount: Up to $150,000 over one or two years. It is anticipated that 5 - 10 grants will be awarded each year.
The Lemann Brazil Research Fund is intended to foster collaboration between scholars and to support research projects focused on current issues facing Brazil. Proposals are sought for research projects that address education management and administration; social science and its applications; public administration and policy; technological advances in education; and evidence-based research. Consideration will also be given to projects that propose collaboration between Harvard faculty and Brazilian academics in the life sciences, physical sciences and engineering, and basic and applied sciences.

1. Focus on Brazil
2. Include meaningful collaboration with Brazilian academics
3. Be undertaken in Brazil in whole or in part
