Proposals for two-year projects will also be considered. Colleges and universities may apply for support for 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 or to designate a scholar currently at the institution to undertake research activities that would not occur without such support. Proposals should strive to achieve impact nationally, rather than within a single university, department, or program. Priority will be given to proposals that provide matching funds. Priority also will be given to institutions indicating that research and activities proposed are likely to continue after the funding period, as opposed to single events or one-time initiatives. The Foundation will provide funding, with appropriate cost sharing from the institution, to establish a program that focuses on both research activities and dissemination of findings. Two criteria will be of paramount importance to the Foundation in selecting the institution and research project to be funded: 1) relevance and potential impact of the research project to be undertaken, and its significance in exploring new research areas, or in advancing theory and practice beyond its present boundaries; and 2) dissemination of research findings to an audience of scholars, policy makers, and practitioners in a manner that enables the utilization of the information and knowledge generated

The awards can be used for transportation costs to and from the meeting, as well as partial per diem expenses (up to three days at $30 per day). Priority is given to doctoral candidates who are nearing graduation and who can therefore use attendance at the meetings to explore career opportunities. Except in unusual circumstances, the Office of Graduate Studies will approve only one award per year for a given student.
