Grants for Harvard Faculty

The Center for the Study of World Religions (CSWR) offers a limited number of grants to Harvard University faculty to support faculty-led research and other initiatives in world religions. As the CSWR mission statement indicates, the Center fosters a comprehensive approach to religions studied in accord with a rich diversity of academic disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. As an international academic community engaged in the study of the religions of the world, the CSWR is particularly interested in supporting projects that

  • encourage the exchange of ideas from many scholarly perspectives;
  • complement the CSWR's global focus on religions in their traditional and contemporary forms as lived, practiced, and studied;
  • bring together scholars from within and outside the University to work collaboratively at the Center.

Please see Recent Grant Recipients for information on projects supported by CSWR faculty grants in earlier years.
