Hi friends,

Last year, with feedback from our community, we changed our mission from “build the field of cellular agriculture” to “maximize the positive impact of cellular agriculture.” The new mission and accompanying strategic plan has already made incredible waves in and beyond our organization.

Now it’s time to redesign our grant programs to align with that new mission. New Harvest will not be accepting further applications for our research fellowship, seed grant, or dissertation award.

Learn more about our thinking here.

If you were hoping to apply to any of our programs, do not dismay! We will be experimenting with new ways to support cultured meat research and empower emerging leaders in the coming year.

I can't wait to share more about this next chapter in New Harvest's history, and to expand the scope of our support. Stay tuned.

All the best,

Isha Datar
Executive Director, New Harvest
