These grants provide support to women scholars to prepare research manuscripts for publication, and independent researchers to prepare research for publication. Time must be available for eight consecutive weeks of final manuscript preparation. All applicants must demonstrate that the support will result in a reduction of their ongoing work-related activities. The grants are not for preliminary research. Activities undertaken during the grant period can include drafting, editing, or modifying manuscripts; replicating research components; responding to issues raised through critical review; and other initiatives to increase the likelihood of publication. It must be an original publication and cannot be co-authored.
These grants are part of the American Fellowships, which support women doctoral candidates completing dissertations or scholars seeking funds for postdoctoral research leave from accredited institutions. Candidates are evaluated on the basis of scholarly excellence, the quality and originality of project design, and active commitment to helping women and girls through service in their communities, professions, or fields of research. Preference will be given to applicants whose work supports the vision of AAUW: to break through educational and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance.
