Grants for Women & Girls

From aauw.org:
The 2009-10 Campus Action Project (CAP) Breaking through Barriers in STEM for Women and Girls focuses on the issues raised by AAUW's upcoming 2010 research report, Breaking through Barriers: Women and Girls in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The report will highlight key findings from recent research on women and girls in STEM in three areas: middle and high school, college and university, and the workplace. Although women and girls have made significant progress in STEM, they are still underrepresented in certain fields and barriers to their full participation remain.
AAUW invites proposals for up to $5,000 in funding for CAP grants from U.S. colleges and universities for campus-based teams composed of students and a campus professional serving as the project adviser. Deadline is midnight, Oct. 16, 2009.
