The UW Gender Equity Research Grants support research that investigates and addresses gender equity, and in particular projects that demonstrate relevance to Waterloo or that advance Waterloo's three IMPACT 10x10x10 commitments (i.e., boosting girls’ participation in STEM  experiences to build future female leaders, enhancing  female faculty representation to drive toward parity in the future, and advancing women into positions that  lead the university).

This grant will support the Excellence and Gender Equity in Science and Technology (EGEST) conference organized by Dr. Fehr and Dr. Bergsieker in September 2018.

Connection Grants support events and outreach activities geared toward short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives. These events and activities represent opportunities to exchange knowledge and to engage on research issues of value to those participating.

Election to the Society reflects the committee's judgment that a member has made and will continue to provide substantial contributions to social psychology as an empirical science.
