One six-month fellowship is available for a female social scientist from a developing country, either a PhD candidate or post-doctoral scholar, whose work addresses women’s economic and social empowerment in her country.
The goal of the program is twofold: to advance the scholarly careers of women social scientists from the developing world, and to support research that identifies causes of gender inequity in the developing world and that proposes practical solutions for promoting women’s economic and social empowerment.
