Overview
The Charles Bullard fellowship program is to support advanced research and study by individuals who show promise of making an important contribution, either as scholars or administrators, to forestry and forest-related subjects from biology to earth sciences, economics, politics, administration, philosphy, humanities, the arts or law.
Target candidates
Bullard Fellowships are generally awarded to individuals in mid-career who have established themselves in academia, public service, or in the private sector. For those in academic careers preference is ordinarily given to holders of doctoral degrees, but others whose projects show promise of important contributions to forestry and forest studies, broadly defined, will be considered in terms of the likelihood that study and research at Harvard will help fulfill this promise. Judgments of the Committee are based primarily on the quality of the applicant's professional accomplishments, academic record, and benefits from interaction with the Harvard community and its institutional resources. Please Note: This is not a post doctoral program and recent PhD graduates are generally not appropriate candidates for a Bullard Fellowship

Program Scope
The Forest Research Fellowship Program may make available to qualified individuals a wide range of opportunities for research in the several divisions of the university; this is its unique and greatest virtue. Research areas include, for example, forest ecology, tree physiology, forest soils, forest resource management, conservation and biodiversity issues, environmental policy, industrial ecological issues and management processes, forest land planning and public policy.
Potenial fellows are responsible for contacting and making arrangements with appropriate Harvard collaborators, if required for their fellowship. Previous Fellows have collaborated with researchers and faculty at:
- Harvard Forest, Petersham
- Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain
- Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences
- Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology
- Graduate School of Business Administration
- Graduate School of Design
- John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government
or a combination of these research institutions
Value of the fellowships
The Fellowships carry stipends up to $40,000 or more if necessary; the amount of each award depends on the professional status and needs of the recipient and duration of the Fellowship. Fellows have the option of having the award paid either to themselves or to the Fellow's employer.
In most cases, the stipend will supplement income received for devoting a period to research, e.g., sabbatical leave pay for an individual in academic life, appointments with federal support for training of individuals in federal public service, or educational leave with pay for individuals in the private sector.
In preparing your stipend request, please consider the information regarding costs discussed in the following sections: Fellowship Location, Taxes, Travel Reimbursement, Supplies Budget, Health Insurance and International Fellows.
Travel Reimbursement
All Bullard Fellows will be reimbursed for the costs of one round trip travel between their Fellowship site location and their home base. Reimbursement will be either the actual airfare or mileage (at rate determined by the IRS) between the two, which ever one is lower. Bullards are responsible for the travel costs of any people accompanying them.
Supplies Budget
Each fellow is allocated up to $500 in support for related supplies of their Bullard Fellowship Activities.

Fellowships may start at any time after September 1 and must be between 6 and 12 months in duration.
