The National Institute for Health Research is inviting proposals for a study looking at the progression of women in clinical academic careers.
The study will consist of a qualitative and systematic review of gender inequalities in clinical academic careers of doctors and dentists across the UK.
The NIHR says the work is needed as women are underrepresented in academic medicine at all levels, a situation that worsens as people advance in their careers. Not all the factors that contribute to this disparity are well understood, it says.
