The Institute for Women’s Leadership Interdisciplinary Summer Grant program seeks to foster interdisciplinary research collaborations across the university that further the campus community’s understanding of gender and sex. In its fifth year, the program continues to help fund research and support efforts to grow research into larger extramurally funded projects, while recognizing that research on gender/sex spans many disciplines and that gender/sex intersects with many fields. IWL’s Interdisciplinary Summer Grant program supports projects involving collaborators from two or more disciplinary backgrounds or traditions.
