"The Research Accelerator Challenge seeks to raise 50 new, endowed Ph.D. fellowships by June 30. New gifts to establish named fellowships will be matched through the fundraising challenge, made possible by a $50 million commitment from a group of dedicated donors. This includes a lead gift by Alfred '94 and Rebecca '94 Lin; support from Rui Dong '05 and Thor Johnson and Brian Young '76 and Anne Young; and additional gifts committed to ensuring research continuity."
""I am thankful for the partnership of our alumni to help ensure that Harvard remains a magnet for exceptional scholars," said Hopi Hoekstra, Edgerley Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, who identified this effort as a top fundraising priority this year. "Ph.D. fellowships support bold thinkers, students who play a critical role in world-class research and go on to become the next generation of scientists and scholars.""

Donor support includes a lead gift from Alfred '94 and Rebecca '94 Lin and contributions from Rui Dong '05, Thor Johnson, Brian Young '76, and Anne Young, along with additional gifts intended to ensure research continuity. The effort will provide comprehensive student support including tuition, health insurance, and a stipend, and will offer greater flexibility for students to pursue inquiry and interdisciplinary work. The Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences supports more than 2,500 Ph.D. students across FAS and SEAS. Competition for public and private research funding is increasing while federally funded fellowships are decreasing.
