OPTOGEL PROTEOMICS: UNBIASED SUBCELLULAR PROTEOMICS POWERED BY PHOTOREACTIONS IN HYDROGEL

From that grant's abstract: ADDITIONALLY, THE PROJECT?S LEADER, A WOMAN SCIENTIST, IS DEDICATED TO BRIDGING THE GENDER GAP IN SCIENCE THROUGH SPECIAL CAMPS AND WORKSHOPS, EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF FEMALE SCIENTISTS.

The grant is labeled with "JUSTICE" & "GENDER" in Cruz's spreadsheet.
