The Research Publication Grant is now open for women scholars conducting basic research in engineering, medicine or the physical or biological sciences and who have a doctorate degree in one of those fields.
Donor Name: American Association of University Women
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 11/15/2023
Size of the Grant: $10,000-$35,000
Details:
Having a strong publication record is a key to receiving promotions and tenure in engineering, medicine and science. Yet persistent gender stereotypes and bias in these fields can make it difficult for women to find the time and institutional support needed to publish their research. These grants help women overcome these barriers by funding research projects that will culminate in scholarly publications.
