Investigating the Potential Impact of COVID-19 on the Careers of Women in Academic Science, Engineering, and Medicine

Completed

Women in academic scientific, engineering, and medical (SEM) fields face a myriad of systemic inequities that contribute to significant underrepresentation and disproportionate hardship, challenges amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent changes to higher education. This project will identify the impact of the pandemic on the research careers of women in SEM, including:

  • Whether ongoing interventions help or harm women in academic research;
  • If these interventions impact women and men differently;
  • What unique challenges are women in academic research facing in light of COVID-19; and
  • How these elements may impact the research careers of women in SEM.
