Every year, GWIS National Fellowship Program recognizes women who are performing hypothesis driven research in STEM and Social Science fields, and who have shown an outstanding ability for promising careers. Award amounts of up to $10,000 will be given to the winner to put towards a research project.

Fellowship funds can be used for the following:

• expendable supplies
• small equipment to be used by recipient (not for general use)
• publication of research findings
• travel and subsistence while performing field studies
• travel to another laboratory for collaborative research
• undergraduate collaborators (up to 1/3 of the total requested amount)
• study subjects' compensation
