American Short-Term Research Publication Grants aim to increase the number of women in research, development, and academic leadership, and to promote gender equity across all spheres of research by providing funding to support women in preparing research manuscripts for publication. Grants are open to applicants in all fields of study, though those engaged in science, technology, engineering, and math fields, or those researching gender issues, are especially encouraged to apply. Established in 1888, AAUW American Fellowships are the oldest non-institutional source of graduate and postdoctoral funding for women in the United States. The grant provides $8,000 to support activities such as drafting, editing, or modifying manuscripts, replicating research, responding to issues raised through critical review, or other work to increase the likelihood of research publication. Grantees may also use funds to defray living expenses during their award term, including housing, food, and dependent care.
