Applications are open for the Gender Equity/GBV Evidence Accelerator Fellowship, hosted by the Center for Global Women’s Health and Gender Equity (CGWHE) at Johns Hopkins University. This year-long Fellowship supports practitioners, professionals, and scholars working in gender equity and gender-based violence (GBV), particularly in low- and middle-income settings.

This part-time program enhances skills in evidence generation, analysis, and translation. Fellows participate in select courses from the Bloomberg School of Public Health, receive mentorship from CGWHGE faculty, and engage in networking opportunities, including an in-person cohort gathering. Activities are primarily virtual, with occasional in-person convenings. Fellows also complete a mentored mini-project, such as data analysis or evidence synthesis.

Ideal candidates include those involved in program monitoring and evaluation, community research, or GBV-focused PhD studies. Applicants should demonstrate prior experience and a need to build further expertise in evidence-based gender equity/GBV research, programs, or policy.
