Johns Hopkins Gender Equity/GBV Evidence Accelerator Fellowship(Funding available)

About the Program
The Gender Equity/GBV Evidence Accelerator Fellowship is a year-long, part-time cohort program that offers mentorship and coursework through the Center for Global Women’s Health and Gender Equity (CGWHGE) at Johns Hopkins University. This fellowship is aimed at practitioners, professionals, and scholars working on gender equity, with a particular focus on gender-based violence (GBV) in low- and middle-income settings. The program is designed to enhance skills in evidence generation, synthesis, analysis, and translation for gender equity and GBV.

Fellows will complete select coursework from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (BSPH) and receive ongoing mentorship from CGWHGE faculty. The fellowship also provides opportunities for professional networking and development through virtual activities and one in-person cohort gathering throughout the year. Fellows will undertake a mini-project, such as secondary data analysis or evidence synthesis, with support from CGWHGE faculty. The estimated time commitment is approximately 10 hours per week, increasing to 20 hours per week during coursework periods. Travel for in-person events will also be required.

Eligibility Requirements
The fellowship is intended for individuals who meet the following criteria:

• Currently live and work in a low- or middle-income country.
• Are working in the gender/GBV field or studying in a PhD, Postdoc, or Junior Faculty position focused on gender/GBV.
• Have some research experience or exposure to monitoring and evaluation and statistical software (such as STATA or R).
• Current master’s students are ineligible for this fellowship.

Benefits
The fellowship covers travel costs, course registration, and faculty mentoring. However, participants will not receive compensation for their time. If you are employed, it is recommended that you discuss your potential participation with your employer to determine if you can engage in the coursework and meetings during regular working hours.

Ideal Candidates
The fellowship is ideal for individuals working in roles such as program monitoring and evaluation, community researchers, practitioners, or PhD students in low- or middle-income countries. Applicants should demonstrate a need to enhance their skills in evidence-based gender equity/GBV research, programs, or policy to advance the impact of their work and career goals.
