Join us in celebrating International Women’s Day 2025 by supporting women researchers at Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Medicine.

The “Girls Just Want to Have Funding” campaign is designed to empower women researchers and amplify their contributions to the scientific community. This initiative celebrates International Women’s Day by raising critical funds to support women-led and women-focused research at Dalhousie’s Faculty of Medicine.

Why This Matters

Despite making significant strides, women in research still receive less funding than their male counterparts. This disparity limits opportunities for women to lead groundbreaking projects and contribute to solutions for today’s most pressing challenges.

  • Funding Solutions: Supporting innovative research in fields like medicine, health, and technology.
  • Building Equity: Breaking down systemic barriers and creating a more inclusive scientific community.
  • Inspiring the Next Generation: Empowering young women to see themselves as future leaders in research, in medicine and beyond.
