ResearcHER Program
Women in Measurement is proud to offer a ResearcHER program. Our ResearcHER program offers support for outstanding research aimed at advancing our understanding of race and gender issues in our field. The award is intended to promote women-led research that advances the mission of Women in Measurement.
The ResearcHER program is designed to amplify and support the work of women scholars and students. We do everything within our power to help find rewarding, and well-publicized dissemination outlets for our ResearcHERs. In addition to receiving the award and presenting their work publicly, our Women in Measurement ResearcHERs become part of a community that meets regularly to connect, share updates on research projects, and seek guidance and feedback.
