Corporate Engagement
Harvard has established robust policies around corporate engagement and processes for reviewing potential engagements to ensure that they support academic freedom and core institutional values, avoid conflicts of interest, and align with the needs and priorities of the University and its constituents. In 2023, the Provost’s Office established two ad hoc committees to undertake a review of the University’s policies, process, and support: the Corporate Relations Research Policy Committee and the Corporate Relations Researcher Engagement Committee. These committees are coordinated and supported through the Office of the Vice Provost for Research (OVPR).
