We’re excited to share that a new Climate Change and Planetary Health concentration is launching this fall at Harvard Chan School. The Climate Change and Planetary Health concentration will help you understand the consequences of the current planetary health crisis, including its effects on food, water, air, infectious diseases, extreme weather events, heat, mental health, migration, and political stability. Sign up to receive updates about the new concentration.
These awards provide funding to enable graduate students to engage in interdisciplinary experiences to foster a better understanding of the mind, brain, and behavior. Whether you are currently involved in interdisciplinary work or are planning to start a new interdisciplinary endeavor, all Harvard graduate students in MBB-related fields are encouraged to apply for funding. We aim to support as many individuals and groups as possible, though if you have already received an MBB award in the past you may still apply. Apply here.

CEP Student Practice Placement
The Harvard Catalyst Community Engagement Program is excited to announce that we have a student practice placement available for this summer! The Community-Engaged Student Practice Placement program builds sustained, bi-directional collaborations with community organizations via student practice placements. Through this initiative, community partners and students learn from one another. The program also works to increase the capacity of community partners in conducting needs assessments and evaluations. It also supports them in preparing for accreditation and translating evidence into programs and policies. For this summer, we have placements focused on program evaluation, communications efforts, and policy. View our website for more details on the placements and application.
