Welcome to the HYI webpage! I am now working on the HYI Alumni database and in order to complete the first phase of that project, I would like to update as many email addresses of former HYI scholars as possible. So, if you were a scholar at HYI, please help me by sending me an email (ssalpert@fas.harvard.edu) and help spread the word to other HYI alumni by asking them to do the same. Thank you.

Visiting Fellows Program

This program provides advanced Ph.D. candidates (graduate students and junior faculty members) in your institution an opportunity to do dissertation research at Harvard University for three semesters. Our selection committee reviews all the applications, and meets in late November. In our selection process, preference is given to junior faculty members working in East Asian Studies. Successful applicants join researchers at the Harvard-Yenching Institute, and have access to Harvard University libraries. They are provided with living expenses while at the Institute. An official TOEFL score is required for this program. All the applicants and university administrations will be notified of selection results in early December. The selection criteria include academic training, quality of research proposal, and depth of subject knowledge, originality of the proposal as well as feasibility of conducting the research at Harvard. The deadline for receipt of application is June 15, 2006. A TOEFL score must be submitted to the Institute by September 1, 2006. To see a list of nominating universities go to:
