Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s Leadership (JNIWL) Awards

The Jane Nelson Institute for Women's Leadership is accepting requests for support during the FY 2024 - FY 2025 biennium, and applications are due Tuesday, July 18, 2023. 

The express purpose of funding allocated by the Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s Leadership (JNIWL) is to help women advance their leadership skills and experience in order to prepare them to take on successful roles in business and public service. One of the goals of the JNIWL is to be the repository of research and information about women’s leadership. This program is intended to provide funds for TWU faculty and staff to conduct projects that contribute to this goal. Projects that do not directly align with women in leadership will not be considered.

There is no upper limit on the amount that can be requested. Awards are typically under $100,000 per year. Funding for up to two academic years may be requested, and a continuation proposal may be submitted for additional project years. Future funding is contingent on the availability of funds.

Applications should be prepared using the Application Form, Budget Template, and Guidelines. Completed applications should be submitted to the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs using the email below. The application will be pre-reviewed by ORSP for completeness and funding eligibility. ORSP will then route the completed applications for required approvals before sending forward to the JNIWL to make the funding decision.

Please refer to the guidelines for details and email JaneNelsonAwards@twu.edu if you have questions or need additional information.
