Abstract

In 2015, the Dutch research council, NWO, took measures to combat gender bias disadvantaging female applicants in a popular three-tiered funding scheme called the Talent Programme. Using all available data for the last 10 years of applications, we study whether these measures had an effect. We find strong statistical evidence of a shift in gender effects in favour of female applicants in the first tier, called Veni. Gender differences are not found in the two other tiers, the Vidi and Vici schemes.
