Impact of Federal Funding Changes on SGM/LGBTQ+-Related Research

Overview:
The purpose of the study is to assess the impacts of recent SGM/LGBTQ+-related grant terminations occurring between January-June 2025 on research operations, researchers’ careers, and community relationships. We are interested in learning about the broader impacts of these funding disruptions on research trajectories, academic freedom, perceived politicization of science, and institutional support for SGM/LGBTQ+-related scholarship. This includes perceived grant security, changes in research priorities, experiences with grant review and funding processes, and emotional and professional consequences of funding instability.
