Summer Research Opportunities at Harvard
For 2026, SROH will offer research experiences in the social sciences and humanities.
This program is offered through Harvard Griffin GSAS and the Leadership Alliance.
Summer Research Opportunities at Harvard (SROH) is a 10-week program for currently enrolled undergraduates who are considering PhD careers in the natural sciences, humanities, or social sciences. Please note that host departments and research areas vary by year.
Students in the social sciences and humanities will work with faculty from a range of departments aligned with their research interests, including but not limited to education, economics, psychology, and classics.
In the SROH application, applicants are encouraged to indicate the department and Harvard faculty they have identified in their area(s) of interest and whether they have been in contact with those faculty members. Students must have completed at least one upper-level course in their field of study, have at least one semester of undergraduate study remaining, and not have received a bachelor’s degree at the time they begin the summer program. US citizenship or permanent residency is required. Students in SROH will live in Harvard housing. A stipend, as well as housing and travel costs, will be provided.
Application Process
SROH takes place between June and August. For information on eligibility requirements and how to apply, please visit the Leadership Alliance Summer Research-Early Identification Program.
