We examine the outcomes of the regular announcements of observing opportunities for ESA’s gamma-ray observatory INTEGRAL issued between 2000 and 2021. We investigate how success rates vary with the lead proposer’s gender, “academic age” and the country where the proposer’s institute is located. The more than 20 years operational lifetime enable the evolution of the community proposing for INTEGRAL to be probed. We determine proposal success rates for high-priority and all proposals using both the numbers of accepted proposals and the amounts of awarded observing time. We find that male lead proposers are between 2–11% more successful than their female counterparts in obtaining INTEGRAL observations. We investigate potential correlations between the female-led proposal success rates and the amount of female participation in the Time Allocation Committee.
