Notice of Special Interest in Research on the Health of Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM) Populations

Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Date: January 23, 2020
Visit Web Site

This Notice calls for research on the health of sexual and gender minority populations. “Sexual and gender minority” is an umbrella term that encompasses lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations as well as those whose sexual orientation, gender identity and expressions, or reproductive development varies from traditional, societal, cultural, or physiological norms. This includes individuals with disorders or differences of sex development (DSD), sometimes known as intersex.

Although there has been an increase in SGM-focused health research in recent years, there remains a need for further research on the health of these populations. This Notice encourages research that describes the biological, clinical, behavioral, and social processes that affect the health and development of SGM populations and individuals and their families, and that leads to the development of acceptable and appropriate health interventions and health service delivery methods that will enhance health and development of these populations.

Types of research which are relevant to this Notice include, but are not limited to:

  • Epidemiological research that examines patterns of risk, morbidity and mortality related to diseases or health conditions that have not been adequately studied in SGM populations.
  • Etiological or mechanistic research examining how biological, behavioral, social, and/or environmental factors contribute to health outcomes and health disparities for SGM populations.
  • Research leading to interventions to ameliorate health disparities in SGM populations, including formative research to identify and develop appropriate intervention content as well as pilot testing of interventions to establish feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy.
  • Large-scale design, implementation and evaluation of preventive and/or treatment interventions addressing health issues in SGM populations.

NIMHD welcomes inquiries concerning this Notice. Possible funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) or their re-issues to which SGM-related research may be submitted include but are not limited to Parent FOAs. Review the Notice for more information on eligibility and application submissions. Inquiries are accepted on a rolling basis.
