Office of Research Strategy and Development

Welcome

Welcome to the website for the Harvard School of Public Health's (HSPH) Office of Research Strategy and Development (ORSD). HSPH has a large and comprehensive research portfolio, with faculty receiving funding from a wide range of federal and non-federal sources. The Office of Research Strategy and Development (ORSD) has been created to facilitate faculty research, identify research and funding opportunities, reduce barriers to successful competition for extramural research support, stimulate inter-departmental research, and provide resources and support for faculty research programs. Karen Emmons (karen-emmons.jpg)


It is our long-term goal to develop a dynamic and interactive web presence that will serve as a “one-stop shopping” source for faculty as they plan and implement research activities. Funding opportunities will be updated weekly, as will other resources, policy information, and announcements about recently funded grants.

I hope that you find this information to be useful. I welcome your ideas and input.

Karen M. Emmons, Ph.D.
Associate Dean for Research

Mary Kay Foundation Grant

The Mary Kay Foundation is accepting applications for innovative grants for translational research in ovarian, uterine, breast, or cervical cancer until February 3, 2012.

Because only one application will be accepted from HSPH, we need to know if multiple PIs are planning to apply, so that we know whether we need to coordinate an internal competition to select the PI who will be nominated to move forward with the a full application to the sponsor.  Please notify ORSD by the close of business on Monday, December 12th if you plan to apply.

Please see the attached application for more information.

  • NIH, AHRQ, CDC, FDA and NIOSH are phasing in use of updated electronic application forms packages.
