Deadline: September 30, 2025

Applications are open for the AAUW American Short-Term Research Publication Grants 2026. The American Short-Term Research Publication Grants aim to increase the number of women with academic tenure and promote gender equity for women in higher education by providing funding to women in academia to prepare research manuscripts for publication. 

Grants are open to applicants in all fields of study, though those engaged in science, technology, engineering, and math fields, or those researching gender issues, are especially encouraged to apply. Established in 1888, American Association of University Women (AAUW) American Fellowships are the oldest non-institutional source of graduate and postdoctoral funding for women in the United States.
