The Strategy unit studies firms as competitors in an economic landscape. Key issues include: the development and effectiveness of firm strategy at both a business and corporate level; the analysis of the competitive environment; and the sustainability of strategy over time.

Our research, course development, and teaching draws on multiple disciplines, including economics, sociology, and political science, and focuses on both domestic and global competition. The objective of the work is to generate findings and develop concepts that will help managers improve their strategic decisions while advancing the state of knowledge in the academic study of strategy and related disciplines.

Strategic Planning.

Planning at HMS consists of multiple structures supporting academic and integrated planning and review. In 2007-2008 the school carried out a broad-based highly inclusive strategic planning exercise that culminated in a report in the fall of 2008. That strategic planning process has defined a roadmap for priority setting for the school, but planning is continually evolving as resources and opportunities change. Formal mechanisms of ongoing planning and review also exist for our academic departments.

In addition, HMS undergoes periodic strategic planning exercises aligned with education and research. The most recent of these is the Continuing Education Strategic Planning process, which was launched in September 2011. We welcome you to check back to this site as we add additional information on planning at Harvard Medical School.

Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health Research Strategy: Public Health Vision for 2030.

I am pleased to share the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health Research Strategy that describes a broad vision for our research activities over the next 14 years. Through the Research Strategy Review (RSR) process we sought to anticipate trends in a rapidly evolving world to inform strategic investments, and ensure the School is well-positioned to continue to lead in public health research. The RSR identified areas that are most likely to define the future of public health research including cutting-edge methods, and academic and scientific resource strengths, gaps, and challenges.

The resulting five themes of the Strategy are:

Promote an inclusive research culture that embraces diversity, engagement, and transparency Support research that is multidisciplinary in nature Leverage the strengths and resources of the School, the Longwood Campus, and the University Invest in research platforms that can accelerate the pace of scientific discovery Ensure funding and administrative processes are aligned with School priorities.

The Strategy document is the product of careful consideration of the School’s strengths and the future of public health research grounded in the idea that excellence requires focus, priority-setting, the leveraging of existing talent, and administrative efficiency, particularly given limited resources. However, we must be careful not to stifle intellectual creativity and innovation, nor ignore inevitable and unanticipated changes to the public health landscape. It is our hope that this Strategy charts a thoughtful middle ground, providing direction and vision while preserving flexibility.

Office of Research Strategy and Development.

Providing catalytic & strategic support for the Harvard Chan School's research in order to advance its capacity to create a healthier world.

Welcome to the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health’s Office of Research Strategy and Development (ORSD). Our School of Public Health (SPH) has a large and comprehensive research portfolio, spanning the behavioral, population and biological sciences. With research being conducted in nine academic departments and multiple school-wide research centers, our faculty receive funding from a wide range of federal and non-federal sources.

The Office of Research Strategy and Development (ORSD) was created to provide catalytic & strategic support for the School’s research by:

Supporting researchers in growing and diversifying research funding Increasing competitiveness for extramural research support Developing and implementing research policy to protect and enhance resources Optimizing administrative support for research Catalyzing emerging and inter-departmental research.

ORSD pursues these strategic aims by coordinating research development resources across the School:

Our office is committed to advancing the School’s capacity to create a healthier world through the very best research development supports we can offer.

This website is designed to help you understand how to leverage the system of research development resources that are in place to help you achieve your research goals. We hope that you find it useful and welcome your questions and feedback.
