Funding to support action and impact
Members of the consortium were successful in securing 75,000 in funding through the HEA Gender Equality Enhancement Fund. In a partnership between TUS, ATU, DCU, UCC, UL, SETU and UU, initiatives will be delivered around two areas; building visibility and impact and males as champions of change. Visibility and impact will be developed through the development of míde and a research internship programme. To leverage males as champions of change, the funding will support a mentorship programme for early career women researchers and a gender equality education programme for undergraduate students in sport and health science. Several partners will be engaged to support the design and dissemination of these initiatives, including Sport Ireland, Sport NI, the ISESA and the Centre for Men’s Health.
