For Faculty

The Weatherhead Center provides support for a wide range of research initiatives on international affairs, transnational and global issues, and comparative national issues. These initiatives include both the independent research of individual faculty members and collective undertakings such as conferences, seminars, and workshops. The Center’s grant programs are designed to promote scholarship at the forefront of knowledge, support the career development of junior faculty, facilitate scholarship on problems of current and future importance, and foster multidisciplinary interactions. The funding that fosters the formation of a vibrant research community of Center-affiliated faculty across the University is provided by the Center’s Ford, Dillon, Huntington, Mackenzie King, and Weatherhead endowments.

For Students

Support of graduate and undergraduate students is an important priority for the Weatherhead Center. Generous grants from the Weatherhead Foundation and from the Hartley R. Rogers family allow the Center to provide extensive research opportunities for students. These funds complement our student programs funds from the Weatherhead Foundation and the Maurice and Sarah Samuels family, allowing us to offer exciting programs for both undergraduate and graduate students. Resources for students are extensive, ranging from thesis research grants and workshops for undergraduates, to pre- and postdoctoral fellowships, language study opportunities, and affiliations for graduate students and recent Ph.D. recipients. We invite students to explore the Center’s myriad resources over the coming year.
