Table 1. Gender Differences among Creators
Gender Representation in Creator Population

Creator Type 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
Non-Faculty Male 78 85 96 95 93 119

Non-Faculty Female 33 49 32 43 41 55

Male Faculty 142 118 145 130 143 172

Female Faculty 24 26 26 26 30 33

The above table shows the proportion of gender-specific faculty and non-faculty members who submitted an invention disclosure
for the years from 2011 to 2016. Non-faculty includes postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and university staff members.

Figure 1. Relative population growth pre-WIT to post-WIT. The population of each creator group, non-faculty (inclusive of graduate
students, postdoctoral fellows, and staff) versus faculty, was compared between 2013, representing the year just prior to WIT pro-
gramming (pre-WIT), and 2016, three years into WIT programming (post-WIT). The growth in each population was expressed as a
percent increase over the 2013 population numbers.
