Center for Faculty Development & Diversity

Harvard University

Harvard Catalyst

A pan-University collaborative effort committed to harnessing the human, technological, and fiscal resources of Harvard and its academic healthcare centers (AHCs) to reduce the burden of human illness. The key elements for success already exist at Harvard. What is missing is a systematic way for investigators from disparate disciplines and institutions to find each other and form teams, to gain open access to tools and technologies, and to obtain seed funding, to embark upon new areas of investigation. Uniting to achieve this goal are Harvard's 10 schools and 18 independent AHCs.
