Supporting academic excellence
Founded in 2021, the Barry Center aims to build a generation of scholars who are committed to the highest standards of intellectual inquiry. Its grants support the research of young scholars, from across the humanities and sciences, whose work promises to advance their fields, strengthen their institutions, and enrich public life.
Through programs, conferences, and faculty mentoring, the Center assists Barry Fellows as they move into positions of intellectual leadership in the academy and beyond.
