About the IAU Mini-Grant
The IAU Mini-Grant is designed to fund impactful, grassroots projects that encourage women and girls to engage with astronomy and STEM disciplines. The program focuses on initiatives that build leadership skills, expand access, and foster long-term participation in scientific communities.
