The NIH Sexual & Gender Minority Research Coordinating Committee (SGM RCC) provides a trans-NIH forum for discussing the diverse health research issues of SGM communities and serves as a catalyst for developing additional research and research training initiatives in these areas across the agency.

SGM RCC Responsibilities

  • Facilitate and coordinate collaborations and other activities related to SGM health research across the NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices, as well as with other federal agencies.
  • Develop potential research and research training activities for NIH and ICO leadership to consider as a result of recommendations from the Institute of Medicine report on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender health.
  • Provide advice to the SGMRO on implementation and evaluation of the NIH SGM Research Strategic Plan.
