The Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships (URAF) guides our learners through the processes of asking and answering today’s – and tomorrow’s – most important questions.  URAF helps students identify high-impact research and creative endeavor opportunities, secure the necessary academic and financial support to undertake them, and prepare for lives of leadership and service anchored in expertise. Conducting research guided by Harvard’s world-class faculty members, our undergraduates cultivate the theoretical and practical skills necessary to extend their learning beyond the boundaries of the classroom, becoming themselves creators of new knowledge and practice across and at the forefront of their disciplines. We support, oversee, and administer, in collaboration with colleagues from across the College, both internal award processes, as well as distinguished fellowship competition processes.
