Call for research projects on Gendered Design in STEAM

                Call for research projects on Gendered Design in STEAM
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>The International Development Research Centre (IDRC, Canada) and Carleton
<br>University are pleased to announce a call for expressions of interest to
<br>research on Gendered Design in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art
<br>and Mathematics) in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>We ask that you please disseminate this call to your networks and contacts
<br>that you feel may be interested.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Please find the full text of the call attached and at the following web
<br>address:
<br>
<br>:
<br>http://scalar.usc.edu/works/gendered-design-in-steam/call-for-expressions-of-
<br>interest-1
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>The deadline for submitting expressions of interest is September 27, 2019 at
<br>11:59 pm (UTC/GMT -4 hours, time zone).
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>This call will be of interest to LMICs researchers who are currently involved,
<br>or who are interested in becoming involved, in the conceptualization, design
<br>and/or production of technology-based solutions, applications, methods and
<br>processes. They are invited to submit expressions of interest in one of two
<br>streams:
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>       Stream 1: Case Studies  15 to 20 grants valued at $10,000 to $15,000
<br>CAD each;
<br>
<br>       Stream 2: Case Study + Prototype  10 grants valued at a maximum of
<br>$35,000 CAD each.
<br>
<br>Funding from this call will support researchers in LMICs to adopt and share
<br>research and design methods and practices that bring gender considerations to
<br>the development of technology-based solutions to improve lives and livelihoods
<br>for all and particularly for women and other disadvantaged people.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Expressions of interest must pertain to innovations linked with STEAM fields,
<br>with a particular interest in the following sectors: transport/mobility;
<br>renewable energy; manufacturing; housing; infrastructure; and accessibility
<br>(cross-cutting).
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Applications from both individuals (especially for Stream 1) and teams
<br>(especially for Stream 2) will be considered. Funding must be used for
<br>projects conducted within LMICs and by scholars and innovators located within
<br>those countries.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Successful applicants will not only receive funding to prepare case studies
<br>and/or prototypes, they will also benefit from capacity building activities,
<br>resources and regional expertise to assist them in incorporating gender
<br>considerations into their project, and/or in sharing and validating their
<br>related experience with the cohort of successful applicants.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Please send any additional questions to GenDesignSTEAM@cunet.carleton.ca
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Best regards,
<br>
