American Association of University Women: Research Publication Grants in Engineering, Medicine and Science
SOURCE: American Association of University Women (AAUW)
APPLICATION DEADLINE: Dec. 1, 2020.
$ AVAILABLE: $10,000-$35,000.
ELIGIBILITY:
• Grants are not open to previous recipients of any AAUW national fellowship or grant (not including branch or local awards or Community Action Grants).
• Members of the AAUW Board of Directors, committees, panels, task forces and staff, including current interns, are not eligible to apply for AAUW’s fellowships and grants. A person holding a current award is eligible for election or appointment to boards, committees, panels and task forces.
• Grants are open to scholars who identify as women and who are conducting basic research in engineering, medicine or physical or biological sciences. AAUW follows the National Science Foundation’s definition of basic research: “activity aimed at acquiring new knowledge or understanding without specific immediate commercial application or use.”
• The grantee must plan to publish this research in a scholarly scientific publication within six months of the end of the grant year and be listed as the sole author, senior author, first author or an author of equivalent significance.
• Applicants must hold a doctorate degree in engineering, medicine or the physical or biological sciences.
• Tenured professors are not eligible.
• The grants are for tenure track, part-time and temporary faculty, as well as new and established researchers at universities.
• Applicants may not apply for another AAUW national fellowship or grant in the same year.
PURPOSE: 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.
