Call for Expressions of Interest: The Gender in STEM Research Initiative - Advancing gender analysis and women’s leadership in STEM fields
The Gender in STEM Research Initiative will fund research that helps promote women’s leadership in science — notably in natural sciences, engineering, and maths — and the integration of gender analysis in these fields. The research will identify innovative approaches that increase the capacity of universities and other higher-education institutions to be more inclusive of women and gender analysis in STEM.
The research consortia must propose research that addresses at least one of four themes:
- Including gender analysis in STEM research
- Exploring STEA+M — integrating arts, design, humanities and social sciences (A+) into STEM higher education and research
- Advancing institutional policies to promote gender equality in STEM
- Safeguarding women scientists
This call for expressions of interest is open to public universities from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Africa, Asia, or Latin America/Caribbean that have demonstrated expertise in research on gender issues in STEM fields.

Please note that we only accept applications in English or French.
