Faculty receive Institute for Women’s Leadership Summer Grant Award

April 29, 2020

The Institute for Women’s Leadership (IWL) recently launched an Interdisciplinary Summer Pilot Grant Program, which seeks to foster interdisciplinary research collaborations across the university that further the campus community’s understanding of gender and sex.

The program helps fund research into larger extramurally funded projects. The IWL and this pilot program recognizes that research on gender/sex spans many disciplines and that gender/sex intersects with other social categories.

The Interdisciplinary Summer Pilot Grant Program supports projects involving collaborators from two or more disciplinary backgrounds or traditions. Projects may be directed toward:

  1. The gathering of primary data
  2. The application of innovative approaches and analyses to provide novel insights from existing data
  3. Creative endeavors that stimulate or strengthen competitive extramural grant applications
