PITFs leverage existing software tools developed here at Harvard and provide outreach. For more information, read more
Provost Fund for Instructional Technology (PFIT)
In a joint effort with the Harvard Academic Computing Committee, the Provost awards innovative and content-focused projects in the area of Instructional Technology. Encouraging innovation and university collaboration in the area of academic computing is a core priority of the Provost's Office. To that end, the Provost Fund for Innovation in Instructional Technology was established to fund university projects that promise to alter, improve (effect a change in) and experiment with the way technology is used in teaching and learning. The Provost's Fund for Content, established in 2004, more specifically aims to make resources available for putting rich educational content online.

Technology Development Accelerator Fund
The Technology Development Accelerator Fund was established to overcome what is known as the “development gap,” a classic obstacle or limitation of academic research which may prevent such research from reaching fruition and translation. Through the Accelerator, we hope to expedite the development of greater numbers of investment- and venture-grade technologies, thereby increasing the flow of Harvard-originated technologies from the laboratory to the marketplace.
