Purpose

Background

The Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office (SGMRO) coordinates Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM)-related research and activities by working directly with NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices. The Office was officially established in September 2015 within the NIH Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives.
 

Workshop Details

The NIH Strategic Plan to Advance Research on the Health and Well-Being of Sexual and Gender Minorities FY 2021-2025 includes goals and objectives that aim to increase and improve SGM health research supported by NIH. Goal Three of the strategic plan is to foster a highly skilled and diverse workforce in SGM health research. To achieve this goal, in part, the SGMRO will host this regional workshop in SGM health research to build capacity within the extramural research community.

The goals of the Regional Workshop are to increase understanding of the NIH structure and processes, encourage mentoring relationships within the extramural research community, enhance capacity to conduct SGM research, and provide researchers with the opportunity to interact with NIH staff and established researchers in SGM health. The Regional Workshop is being held on July 28, 2022, in collaboration with the Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois.
