Each year, awards are presented to graduating students, as well as faculty and staff, at Harvard Chan School. Today, we celebrated the many achievements of this year's award winners at a ceremony in the Kresge building. View the full list of awards and winners:

Harvard Chan School is home to a wide variety of research initiatives, with faculty, researchers, and students all working together to improve health, prevent disease, and support well-being. We asked some of them if they could explain their research in 7 words.

Harvard Chan scientists participate in a rigorous application process for federal grants to conduct their vital health research. The government has now terminated nearly every single one of those grants.

With nearly all of Harvard Chan School’s direct federal grants terminated, we are relying on philanthropy to power our research and support our educational programs. Every gift, regardless of size, advances our vision of health, dignity, and justice for every human. Support our work: hsph.me/whygive
