1. Witteman, H. O., Hendricks, M., Straus, S., & Tannenbaum, C. (2019). Are gender gaps due to evaluations of the applicant or the science? A natural experiment at a national funding agency. The Lancet, 393(10171), 531-540.
Studies reveal that men researchers, regardless of location or field, consistently get more funding than their female counterparts. As most research in this area has been observational, it is not known if biases in assessments of female researchers or their planned study are to blame. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research conducted a natural experiment in 2014 by splitting investigator-initiated funding submissions between two new grant programmes, one with and one without an explicit review emphasis on the cali
e of the primary investigator.
Inadequate evaluations of women as PIs, rather than any inherent bias against women scientists, explain the gender disparity in research funding. We talk about how to encourage impartial and thorough peer review and the factors that may lead to less favourable evaluations.
2. Burchi, F., De Muro, P., & Vicari, S. (2015). The development project as an institution for agency and capability expansion: The case of the Njombe Milk Project. The European Journal of Development Research, 27(1), 19-36.
The Logical Framework Approach has been widely utilised by development organisations for project planning, management, and assessment. As a group, we
eak away from this mechanistic outlook and add our voices to the growing body of literature that acknowledges the complexity of projects and the significance of institutional dynamics. This article discusses the assessment of a multi-sectoral initiative in Tanzania that focuses on the commercialization and pedagogical dissemination of milk in educational institutions. We examined the impact of the project on the capabilities, rights, and agency of a subset of project stakeholders using a mixed-methods approach informed by the capability approach. An intriguing unforeseen byproduct of the research was an increase in children's school attendance, which we discovered to have a favourable impact on nutrition knowledge, farmers' incomes, and milk output. A thorough institutional examination, however, shows issues in the institutional context and in the interactions between stakeholders that inhibit a long-term approach to human development.
