Scholarly Working Groups

The Harvard Global Health Institute’s Scholarly Working Groups are designed to encourage a collaborative environment, promote inter-faculty gatherings, and explore and accelerate research areas in topics critical to advancing “Health for All”. Each Scholarly Working Group includes faculty from at least two schools across Harvard University. Through these working groups, we aim to catalyze ideas, inspire the writing of grants, policy briefs, or working papers, or build networks to advance a program of work.


The 2026–2027 Call for Proposals has closed. Please check back in early spring 2027 for information about the next Scholarly Working Group Call for Proposals.

Watch to explore how Harvard faculty are coming together to tackle some of today’s most pressing global health challenges.
