The Gender Equity/GBV Evidence Accelerator Fellowship is a year-long, part-time cohort program offered by the Center for Global Women’s Health and Gender Equity at Johns Hopkins University. It is designed for practitioners, professionals, and scholars from low- and middle-income countries who are engaged in gender equity and gender-based violence (GBV) work. The fellowship focuses on building skills in evidence generation, analysis, and translation through sponsored coursework and dedicated mentorship.
Program Benefits
- Mentorship & Coursework: Fellows receive one-on-one mentorship from Johns Hopkins faculty and complete select coursework at the Bloomberg School of Public Health.

- Funded Participation: The scholarship covers all travel costs for in-person convenings, course registration fees, and faculty mentoring. Note that it does not provide a stipend or compensation for the fellow’s time.
- Networking and Dissemination: Fellows join a professional cohort, participate in in-person gatherings, and disseminate their work through a final webinar.
