Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Global Women’s Health and Gender Equity invites applications for its 2025-2026 year-long, part-time fellowship. This sponsored program builds evidence skills for gender equity and GBV in low- and middle-income settings through mentorship, select Bloomberg School of Public Health coursework, networking, and a mini-project.
Eligibility for the Gender Equity/GBV Evidence Accelerator Fellowship requires applicants to reside and work in low- or middle-income countries while actively engaged in gender equity or GBV fields, or pursuing PhD, postdoc, or junior faculty roles focused on these areas. The program demands about 10 hours weekly on average, scaling to 20 during courses, plus travel for one in-person convening.
Established in 2023 and based at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Center for Global Women’s Health and Gender Equity brings together practitioners, leaders, and advocates worldwide and across Johns Hopkins to drive applied research and training that promotes women’s health and tackles barriers to gender equity.
