The Women and Girls in Astronomy Program, led by Associated Universities Inc. under the International Astronomical Union's North American Regional Office of Astronomy for Development (NA-ROAD), invites innovative, community-based projects from the North American region that aim to foster inclusion, leadership, and participation of women and girls in astronomy and STEM.

Qualifying projects must align with at least one of the NA-ROAD’s five strategic goals, and they must take place in Canada, the United States, the Caribbean, Mexico, or Greenland. Projects are encouraged to approach astronomy from a unique lens, including — but not limited to — scientific, social, technical, cultural, and artistic perspectives.
