Mediplanet Launches ‘Women in Research’ Campaign to Tackle Gender Disparities

Mediplanet launches their Women in Research campaign, aimed at addressing gender disparities in the U.S. research workforce. Making up 30% of the research workforce, women continue to face systemic challenges, including gender bias, lack of mentorship, and unequal access to funding. This campaign seeks to advocate for policies that promote gender equality, ensuring women have the same opportunities to lead, innovate, and contribute to scientific.

Bridging the Gender Gap in Research

While women have made significant strides in research, persistent obstacles prevent them from advancing in their fields at the same rate as their male counterparts. The Women in Research campaign will work to:

• Advocate for Institutional Policies that promote equal opportunities for women in research.
• Expand Advocacy for Mentorship and Funding Opportunities to help women advance in their academic and professional journeys.
• Highlight the Contributions of Women in Science and Research to inspire future generations and drive systemic change.

This campaign was made possible with the support of UN Women, Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP), Women in Research (WIRe), Society for Women's Health Research (SWHR), Association for Women in Science (AWIS), American Institutes for Research (AIR), American Association of University Women (AAUW), IEEE Women in Engineering, National Center for Women in IT (NCWIT) and Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green.
