Torger Möller studied Sociology, Computer Science, Medical Sociology and Economics at the Universities of Marburg and Hamburg. He was a member of the Institute of Science and Technology Studies at the University of Bielefeld from 1999 to 2003. From 2003 to 2007 he worked at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Science and Humanities in the federal research programme "Knowledge for Decision-making Processes - Research on the Relationship between Science, Politics and Society". During this time he also held courses at the Charité University Hospital. Afterwards he worked at the Department of Risk Communication at the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment. In 2008 the Institut Mensch, Ethik und Wissenschaft awarded him a prize for young academics for the results of his doctoral thesis. From 2009 to 2011 he worked at the Center for Cluster Development at the Freie Universität Berlin. Torger Möller has been a member of the DZHW (previously iFQ) since April 2011.

Do female academics submit fewer grant applications than men?Möller, T.

The state of the research on grant application behaviour is that female academics submit fewer proposals than men. This study points out that it is methodologically challenging to draw this conclusion. We know a lot about applicants, but little about the pool of potential applicants as the underlying population. We use a random sample of academics as potential applicants to investigate the grant application activity of male and female researchers. The results show that when an appropriate benchmark is applied (in this case, controlling for academic status and research area), no significant gender differences in grant applications can be found. |
