Catalyst Connect

Harvard Catalyst and our Harvard affiliates offer hundreds of research resources for investigators and their teams. Catalyst Connect makes it easier to find and access what you need, when you need it, by cataloguing resources, courses, funding, guidance, and other information in a searchable compendium.

Catalyst Connect is updated regularly. It currently indexes offerings from Beth Israel Lahey, Boston Children’s Hospital, Mass General Brigham, and Harvard Catalyst, with plans to add resources from other Harvard affiliates in the near future. Resource examples include research cores and support services, courses and trainings, funding guidance and opportunities, regulatory guidance, research tools, and other programs and initiatives of interest to trainees and researchers.
