Total amount of funds awarded by the Colombian Ministry of Science and gender of the group leader.
Gender information was reported along with project funding information by the Ministry. Amounts awarded are in millions of Colombian pesos (1 USD being equivalent to ~ 4,000 COP as per exchange rate in August 2023). The list of project calls used for the analyses are available in the supplementary material but in short, they correspond to awards in science and not the special “Regalias” programs. For 2012 about half of the proposals did not identify the gender of the group leader.
