Deadline: January 16, 2026
Applications are open for the John Hopkins University Gender Equity/GBV Evidence Accelerator Fellowship 2026. This year-long cohort program offers sponsored mentorship and select coursework through the Center for Global Women’s Health and Gender Equity (CGWHGE) at the Johns Hopkins University to practitioners, professionals, and scholars engaged in gender equity work, including those focused on gender-based violence (GBV), particularly in low- and middle-income settings.
The part-time fellowship builds skills in evidence generation, synthesis/analysis, and translation for gender equity and GBV. Fellows complete select coursework offered through Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (BSPH), and receive ongoing mentorship from CGWHGE faculty, within a cohort experience designed for networking and professional development, including one in-person cohort gathering throughout the year. Ongoing activities are virtual, with select in-person convenings to enable connectivity. Fellowship scholars will complete a mini-project focused on gender equity/GBV, such as secondary analysis of survey data, or evidence synthesis, with mentorship and data analysis support from CGWHGE faculty.
