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. Estimated time commitment: 10 hours weekly on average, up to 20 hours/ week during course weeks, plus travel for convenings.
