Gender Monitoring Tool

Sex-/Gendersensitive Medicine and Equality-relevant Contents in Grant Applications

What is the gender monitoring tool (GMT)?

  • The gender monitoring tool (GMT) is an instrument that permits the compulsory sex-/gender-specific and equality-relevant standards to be incorporated into grant applications quickly, in a structured manner and in agreement with the European quality criteria.
  • The GMT is structured as a building block and is based on the legal regulations, current research on equality and the guidelines of the European Commission; it is to be supplemented with or adapted for the specific research content of your project.
