The Advancing Women's Success Grant supports the career progression of early to mid-career high potential academic women with carer responsibilities and assists the university in fostering talent and progressing gender equity in senior roles within the academy.
By providing funding at a critical time in the careers of academic women, this initiative aims to reduce the impact of career breaks and/or caring responsibilities on academic success. Grant awardees receive funds to support a range of academic activities so that they can maintain or enhance the momentum of their productivity and strengthen their academic profile.
The grant also offers optional professional career coaching to assist awardees with their long-term career planning.
