BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is committed to supporting research that will increase scientific understanding of the health status of diverse populations and lead to effective health interventions and services for individuals within and across those groups and populations. High priority is given to research that focuses on understudied, hidden, or difficult-to-access groups that seem to have distinctive health risk profiles but have received relatively little attention by the public health and scientific community. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) highlights a particular set of such groups: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and related populations (designated here as LGBTI populations).
