Description
The Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA) Scholars in Sexuality Research Grants Program supports junior investigators conducting research in human sexuality and sexual wellness. It aims to attract junior clinicians and researchers to sexual medicine and help develop their early research careers. The proposed study is central to the award, with funding primarily supporting research-related expenses.
Funding priority goes to projects addressing human sexuality, sexual wellness, and gender identity. Scientific merit, innovation, and feasibility drive funding decisions. Projects focused on fertility, gender-based medicine, or topics not directly related to sexuality remain eligible for consideration but receive lower priority, as do projects with existing NIH funding or other substantial external support.
