Strategic Grants for Outstanding Women
The Melbourne Medical School’s Strategic Grants for Outstanding Women is an initiative supporting early and mid-career women in academia.
About the scheme
Launched in 2019, the Strategic Grants for Outstanding Women scheme (SGOW) aims to support high-performing early and mid-career women in academia in advancing their careers towards senior academic and leadership roles. Although women are well represented in the School’s early career researcher cohort, there is a marked decrease in the proportion of women at higher academic levels. This scheme, by acknowledging and supporting women with high academic potential, is part of the School’s strategy to redress this disparity.
Offered biennially, the scheme supports recipients over a two year period to undertake activities intended to increase their academic capability, productivity and profile with the intention of progressing their careers.
This scheme is administered by the Melbourne Medical School and generously supported by our health service partners. Questions regarding this scheme can be directed to the MMS Research Support Team: mms-research@unimelb.edu.au.
