Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing

The 9th National LGBTQ Health Conference just wrapped up on August 17, 2024. Thank you to all the wonderful speakers, attendees, and sponsors who made our largest conference to-date an absolute success. We can't wait to see faces old and new at the next conference in Chicago in 2026!

This interdisciplinary translational research conference brings together scientists, public health professionals, and healthcare providers to discuss issues affecting the health and wellbeing of the LGBTQ community.

Watch the highlights from our 2023 symposium held in Washington, DC. This public symposium was the first to bring together federal funding agencies, the White House office that advises the President on science and technology, and the researchers shaping our understanding of how LGBTQ+ people navigate education and employment in STEM fields. 

Then make sure to read "Inclusion and Advancement of LGBTQ+ People in STEM Fields," our new report calling for a comprehensive effort to collect data about LGBTQ+ people at all levels of research. The report represents contributions from more than two dozen researchers, professional organizations, policymakers, and community members.
