You know, I remember a long time ago when I wrote my application for the chair program, one needed basically to brag about their accomplishments, and bragging, with all due respect, does not come naturally to many women and many females. So sometimes just the way the applications are set up can have an undesirable effect in terms of the review of the applications and the material that is in front of the peer review committees for this. I think the gender lens needs to be taken into account throughout the process.
