3. Is there a significant difference in the $ amounts male and female dissertation students request?
Male average $ request: $23,648
Female average $ request: $22,264
(NO - the difference is not significant)
Is there a significant difference in the $ amounts male and female “senior”
researchers request
Male average $ request: $213,095
Female average $ request: $190,214
(NO - the difference is not significant)
Is there a significant difference in “senior” “fieldwork” vs. “non-fieldwork applications by gender?
Male fieldwork proposals: % of total male submissions
Female fieldwork proposals: % of total female submissions
(NO – the difference is not significant)
(FY2013 data only)

4. Additional “senior” application insight (from FY13 data only)
“Solitary” research: is there a gender distinction?
Male PI, co-PI either gender: 50%
Female PI, co-PI either gender: 16%
Difference is significant: chi square p=.0499
Females (by this measure at least) more “solitary”
Does the gender of the PI predict the gender of the co-PI?
For proposals with one male and one female PI and co-PI
Male PI: % of co-PI’s are male
36% of co-PI’s are female
Female PI: 44% of co-PI’s are male
56% of co-PI’s are female
Difference is not significant
Males and females do not act differently in co-PI selection (?)
Who comes first?
Male is PI: (8) 62%
Female is PI: (5) 38%
No gender dominance
