Overview
Harvard Library's Advancing Open Knowledge Grants Program seeks to advance open knowledge and foster innovation to further diversity, inclusion, belonging and anti-racism
This new grant program provides project awards of up to $10,000. Projects can take a variety of forms, but should be grounded in Harvard Library’s values. Library staff are encouraged to partner with Harvard faculty, centers, or departments.
Who is eligible?
All members of the Harvard community are invited to submit proposals. Preference will be given to library staff partnerships with faculty, departments, or centers.
There is a preference for smaller projects that can be accomplished in a six-month timeframe. Applicants with longer-term, more complex projects are be encouraged to drill down and segment their work product.

- blog posts
