WISELI is a research center at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Established in 2002 with funding from the National Science Foundation’s ADVANCE: Institutional Transformation program, the center is currently funded with a combination of: contributions from eight UW-Madison schools, colleges, or units; grant funding from national scientific funding agencies; gift funds; and funds earned through WISELI’s income-generating activities.

The long-term goal of WISELI is to have the gender of the faculty, chairs, and deans reflect the gender of the student body at UW-Madison. To accomplish these goals, WISELI is a visible, campus-wide entity, endorsed by top-level administrators, which uses UW-Madison as a "living laboratory" to study gender equity for women in science and engineering, implement solutions, and provide methods and analyses to measure indicators of success.
