binary constructs of sexual orientation,
gender, and/or sex.
The Sexual and Gender Minority
Research Office (SGMRO) coordinates
sexual and gender minority (SGM)related research and activities by
working directly with the NIH
Institutes, Centers, and Offices. The
Office was officially established in
September 2015 within the NIH
Division of Program Coordination,
Planning, and Strategic Initiatives
(DPCPSI) in the Office of the Director.
In accordance with the 21st Century
Cures Act, NIH is required to regularly
update their strategic plans. In 2015, the
NIH launched the NIH FY 2016–2020
Strategic Plan to Advance Research on
the Health and Well-being of Sexual and
Gender Minorities. The current strategic
plan has provided the NIH with a
framework to improve the health of
SGM populations through increased
research and support of scientists
conducting SGM-relevant research. In
January 2019, SGMRO published a midcourse review of the current NIH SGM
strategic plan that provided
recommendations to support further
progress on the goals described therein.
To establish NIH priorities in SGM
health research for the next five years,
SGMRO requests input from SGM
health, research, and related
communities in refining the goals of the
FY 2021–2025 strategic plan.
Request for Comment on Draft Goals:
The NIH is developing a strategic plan
to advance SGM research over the next
five years. The SGMRO invites input
from stakeholders throughout the
scientific research community, clinical
practice communities, patient and
family advocates, scientific or
professional organizations, federal
partners, internal NIH stakeholders, and
other interested members of the public
on the proposed framework. This input
is a valuable component in developing
the SGM research strategic plan, and the
community’s time and consideration are
appreciated.
The populations considered under the
SGM umbrella term are inclusive and
captures all individuals and populations
who do not self-identify with binary
constructs of sexual orientation, gender,
and/or sex. For the FY 2021–2025
strategic plan, the scientific goals will
include a focus on specific populations
on which the lack of research remains
significant. Examples of such
populations may include persons with
differences in sex development (DSD),
intersex, bisexual, transgender, gender
nonconforming, persons who have
detransitioned/desisted people, and
SGM populations in Native
communities.

In addition, overarching topics will be
considered across all scientific research
goal areas in order to help foster a
deeper understanding of SGM health
disparities. Topics to be considered
include health equity, research across
the life span, trauma-informed research,
community and culturally grounded
research, and strengths-based
approaches. Scientific goal areas will
also take into consideration
intersectionality by recognizing
overlapping and interconnected systems
of oppression across different social
categories and how they may compound
health inequities. Examples of such
categories may include ability status,
age, race, ethnicity, incarceration status,
veteran status, income level, and more.
The NIH has identified four scientific
research goal areas:
• Clinical Research: Examples
include outcomes related to various
DSDs, and sexual reproduction and
pregnancy outcomes
• Social & Behavioral Research:
Examples include the coming out
process, healthy sexuality, interpersonal
violence, mental health, substance use
and abuse (opioids, tobacco use, other
drugs), suicide risk and prevention, and
stigma and discrimination
• Chronic Diseases and Comorbidities
Research: Examples include
Alzheimer’s Disease and Related
Dementias (ADRD), cancer, diabetes,
heart disease, HIV/AIDS, and infectious
diseases
• Methods and Measures Research:
Examples include culturally humble
psychometrics, research on recruitment
and sampling methods, particularly for
most understudied SGM subgroups, and
factors related to disclosure on surveys
The NIH has also identified four
operational goal areas:
• Advance rigorous research on the
health of SGM populations in both the
extramural and intramural research
communities
• Expand SGM health research by
fostering partnerships and
collaborations with a strategic array of
internal and external stakeholders
• Foster a highly skilled and diverse
workforce in the SGM health research
• Encourage data collection related to
SGM populations in research and in the
biomedical research workforce
The NIH seeks comments and/or
suggestions from all interested parties
on the proposed strategic plan goals.
