Our Services
Our Services
Whether you need to receive international funds, hire an individual researcher or project team abroad, or establish an overseas office, we can manage the administrative and operational responsibilities while you focus on the research and programming.
International Services
Our services are specifically designed to support Harvard University’s international research, academic, and fundraising activities and collaborations.
Gift Administration
Access more donors to support your research and educational activities. In certain locations, we can receive and manage gifts from local donors to support in-country activities and, where possible, activities in the US.
Grant Administration
Explore opportunities for research funding in the US and abroad. We manage the intricate financial and compliance matters of the award lifecycle so you can focus on the groundbreaking research.
Employment
Simplify the overseas hiring process for your research and academic programs. We specialize in employing staff and managing payroll to be compliant with each location's unique employment laws and practices.
Office Administration & Operations
Extend your program's research and academic mission abroad. We offer a suite of services to manage the financial, legal, and administrative operations needed to establish and run an overseas office or lab.
How We Support You
Our services help Harvard programs manage compliant, long- or short-term operations abroad, offering you a shared global infrastructure and providing clear, competitive, and predictable pricing tailored to each project and location.
Eligibility
Short & Long-Term Support
Our services cater to Harvard University-affiliated programs seeking the opportunity to tap into international research funding and donations or a sustained presence abroad. We’re continually exploring opportunities to expand our operational footprint to align with clients' project requirements. Our capacity to support your project is contingent on several factors, including duration, funding availability, and our legal status to operate in specific locations.
What We'll Do for You
From Start to Finish
Navigating overseas requirements can be challenging. Our job is to manage the operational compliance aspects of your project so you can focus on the program and research activities. At the outset, we'll work with you to identify your operational needs and challenges, including a review of location-specific requirements for your project. Then we use that information to create a customized proposal and service agreement for your project. While we manage the start-up and ongoing administrative, legal, and financial operations, you retain programmatic control and direct the use of funds for your project’s activities.
Advantages
Simplified & Connected
Our affiliation with Harvard University ensures that we operate in accordance with the University's values and policies while also being able to provide common processes and global infrastructure through shared resources and personnel. And because we’re a separate legal entity, we're able to help you pursue additional gift and grant funding opportunities abroad and in the US.
Fees & Costs
Clear & Competitive
Where applicable, we offer a competitive pricing structure for our services. At the outset, we'll scope your project to create a multi-stage proposal and budget based on your project's needs and the location-specific expenses. All costs, including our service fee and/or indirect costs (for grant management), are mutually agreed upon and outlined in detail in our service agreement with you. Our standard, predictable service fee simplifies your budgeting and takes the guesswork out of international operations.
