About DHFMR Research Grants:
The proposed major program concepts fall into three
general categories:
- Dubai Harvard Foundation Research Centers based
at HMS to focus and direct training and research
- Collaborative Research to support host laboratories
in Dubai and the Region
- Leadership development to train scientists and
researchers for the Region
Dubai Harvard Foundation
Research Centers
Responsible for:
- Establishing a focus for research and training
- Recruiting HMS faculty dedicated to developing
collaborative programs and training talented scientists
from the Gulf Region
- Establishing directed research at targeted disease
areas of high priority to the Gulf Region
- Holding Dubai Harvard Foundation scientific meetings,
generating publications that will credit Dubai and
Harvard, facilitating collaborations with other
academic centers around the world that will contribute
to building the scientific output of designated
labs in the Gulf Region
Success will be measured by the scientific output
(above) and the ability to attract additional sources
of funding.
Collaborative Research
Grants
Responsible for supporting and preparing
future host sites in the Region
- Ideally designed to be paired with a Dubai Harvard
Research Center and a designated Lab in Dubai or
the Gulf Region
- Funding to Lab in the Gulf Region will be based
on the scientific output and capability
- The Grants will provide opportunities for talented,
trained scientists coming from the Dubai Harvard
Research Centers to return to the Region
Success will be measured by publications and the
scientific output, the ability to attract scientists
and additional sources of funding.
Leadership Development
Building the scientific capital
- Awards are designed to train graduates in scientific
research at a doctoral and a postdoctoral level;
Grants will be awarded with incentives to continue
research within the Gulf Region after a given period
of time within the Harvard community
The success of this program will be measured by publications,
the ability to gain additional funding and the number
of candidates that take up leadership positions in
the region.
Additional information about how you can support
research programs of the Foundation will soon be available
here. Please contact Jasmin Mehovic, Program Coordinator
