Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study
The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University is dedicated to creating and sharing transformative ideas across the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences.
The Fellowship Program annually supports the work of 50 leading artists and scholars who have exceptional promise and demonstrated accomplishments. They convene at the Radcliffe Institute for a full year, during which they focus on individual projects and research while benefiting from a dynamic, multidisciplinary community at Harvard.
The Institute’s Academic Ventures program brings together faculty from across the University to foster collaborative research projects and sponsors lectures and conferences that engage scholars with the public.
The Institute is also home to the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, which collects, houses, and preserves the historical record of individual women and women’s organizations.
The Radcliffe Institute’s dedication to intellectual risk taking, bold ideas, and innovative collaborations creates an environment where original thinkers from Harvard University and around the globe advance understandings that better our world.

| Focus of research: | Harvard Radcliffe Institute’s work spans all disciplines and professions. The Institute provides invaluable support to scholars and students pursuing pathbreaking research and creative projects, including Radcliffe fellows, participants in seminars and workshops, and those inspired by the Schlesinger Library’s rich collections. Harvard Radcliffe Institute also offers a wide range of events and exhibitions, which are free and open to the public. These programs reflect our commitment to expanding access to the University and to supporting the robust exchange of ideas. As part of our strategic plan, Radcliffe Engaged, launched in 2019, the Institute identified two initial focus areas that place greater emphasis on research applications; scholarship that engages civic and community partners, public debates, and broader audiences; and supporting the development of Harvard students. |
