Newcomb Institute provides grant funding to Tulane faculty members for projects that connect to the Institute’s mission of advancing gender equity research and scholarly outputs. By gender equity research or scholarly work, we mean work that can offer insight and solutions to advance respect and equal opportunity for all people regardless of gender and inclusive of all gender groups, including women/girls, men/boys, and those beyond the gender binary.
We are open to any area of focus on issues of gender equity, but we would value applications focused on Newcomb Institute’s current priority areas:
- elimination of gender-based violence
- advancement of sexual and/or reproductive health and justice
- feminist civic engagement and leadership.
We also welcome proposals that demonstrate a focus on improved gender representation in fields or areas that currently see under-representation of certain gender groups.
In this round of funding, we will prioritize applications from Newcomb Faculty Affiliates and proposals that include community engagement, undergraduate research assistants, or that can benefit New Orleans and/or the Gulf South.
We encourage applications from faculty across all areas of discipline – including arts and humanities, social sciences, health/medicine, engineering, business, and law/policy -- and will strive for representation of projects from across diverse disciplines. This call is open to faculty of all ranks, both tenure and non-tenure track, and from all schools at Tulane. We hope to fund at least one research grant from each school: Liberal Arts, Public Health, Science and Engineering, Law, Social Work, Medicine, Business, and Professional Advancement.
Please include information on timelines and expected products in your proposal submission.
