The purpose of this funding opportunity is to fund one-year research projects for Community Organizations to explore barriers to and opportunities for positive physical, social and mental health outcomes at the intersections of sexual orientation, gender, race/ethnicity, racism, and/or additional intersecting social identities (e.g., age, disability, faith, immigrant status, Indigeneity, language) and/or social processes (e.g., ableism, classism, heterosexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia).
