Seed Grants

In Fall 2017, WFF launched its Seed Grant program and began accepting applications from undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty. These grants identify innovative ways to support the WFF mission by investing in the diverse work of scholars at Yale. We extend this program to support our tripartite mission of fostering gender equity throughout the University via policy initiatives and research; promoting scholarship on women and gender across the university; and promoting mentorship, collaboration, and networking. The program aims to expand research in areas of gender study and build visibility for issues and policies relating to gender in higher education.

We have one application cycle each semester.  Deadlines for the 2024-2025 academic year are: Fall, October 13th, 2024 and Spring, February 16th, 2025.   Seed grant recipients will present their projects at a poster session.
