2026 ResearcHER Call for Proposals
Women in Measurement, in collaboration with the Center for Assessment, NBME, edCount, LLC, and Pearson, is thrilled to announce our sixth annual ResearcHER Awards.
We invite research proposals that deepen our understanding of race and gender equity within the field of measurement. Thanks to the support of our sponsors, we’re excited to offer two $10,000 awards for exceptional, women-led research projects conducted over a two-year period.
ResearcHERs join a vibrant community of scholars, guided by experienced mentors Dr. Serena Miller and Dr. Bharati Belwalkar, with ongoing opportunities to connect, share progress, and receive thoughtful feedback throughout the research journey.
We welcome a wide range of research topics aligned with our mission. Example areas include:
- Women’s Leadership: Discovery or development of educational or organizational policies that support women’s success, thriving, and belonging in leadership roles.
- Corporate DEI Policies: Developing recommendations to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in the field
- Inclusive Practices: Exploring ways to foster safe and inclusive professional environments
- Mentoring Programs: Identifying effective practices that promote gender and racial equity
- Lived Experiences: Examining the experiences of underrepresented groups in educational measurement.
Funding can be used for research-related expenses, including conference participation, and no budget submission is required, recipients have full discretion over the use of funds. At least one conference presentation submission (to any conference of choice) is required as part of the program.
Women from marginalized communities are especially encouraged to apply.
Deadline for application: June 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM PST
Submit your proposal and CV/resume to ResearcHER@womeninmeasurement.org.
