Funding
IQSS supports the research efforts of its affiliated faculty, graduate students and undergraduates via a variety of funding opportunities designed to move the frontiers of social science knowledge. Funding opportunities are available in the categories listed below.
For Faculty
Magaro Peer Pre-Review

The IQSS Undergraduate Research Scholars program is an opportunity for Harvard College students to gain first-hand research experience working with faculty members all across the University.
Extraordinary Claims, Extraordinary Evidence
The ECEE program empowers Harvard faculty, through intensive support from IQSS, to produce social science research that moves the dominant position of the scientific community the farthest distance.
