University Scholar-in-Residence Award
Colleges and universities may apply for funding for a new University
Scholar-in-Residence to support a woman scholar to undertake and
disseminate research on gender and equity for women and girls.
Institutions may use the funds either to bring a qualified scholar to the
institution for a fixed period of time or to designate an individual currently
at the institution to undertake project activities that would not occur
without such support.
Stipend: Not to exceed $50,000 for a one-year project or $100,000 for a
two-year project.
Qualifications: Proposals must include both research activities on gender
and equity and dissemination of findings. Successful proposals will be
crafted to achieve impact across the institution, or among departments or
schools, rather than in a single department.
Selection Criteria and Process: Proposals will be evaluated on the basis
of overall feasibility; qualifications of key personnel; and likely impact of
the project.
Institutions are strong encouraged to submit a five-page letter of intent
describing the project and its intended outcomes by September 15, 1998.
