The NIH SGM Strategic Research Plan promotes and supports the advancement of basic, clinical, and behavioral and social sciences research to improve the health of people whose sexual orientations, gender identities/ expressions, and/or reproductive development vary from traditional, societal, cultural, or physiological norms. In each of these areas, the NIH will coordinate with the NIH intramural and extramural program directors and researchers to ensure the advancement of SGM-focused research efforts. The NIH anticipates that this 5 year plan, which will cover the years 2016– 2020, will provide the NIH with a framework for progress in this area, and that the research that results from this plan will lay a foundation for improved health and well-being amongst a group of diverse SGM individuals whose health needs have not traditionally received strong attention from the research community.
