Description
This NIH funding opportunity supports innovative observational and intervention-based research aimed at understanding the pathways and mechanisms that lead to health and health care disparities among sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations. The focus is on SGM individuals who also belong to minoritized racial/ethnic groups and/or have socio-economic disadvantages. The goal is to generate knowledge that can inform strategies to reduce these disparities and improve health outcomes.
The research may include both basic and applied studies, with clinical trials being optional. Projects should address critical barriers to progress in the field and propose novel approaches or methodologies. The NIH encourages applications that consider relevant biological variables such as sex and gender and that incorporate rigorous experimental design and data management plans.
