The GeMPIRe Study was previously funded by an R01 grant from NIH, awarded to Dr. Katz-Wise.
This grant has ended, but we are continuing to work on this project. Please visit this page if you are interested in supporting this continued work.
We are finalizing manuscripts for this study.
A Community Advisory Board (CAB) played an important role in shaping this project. The CAB included 9 transgender and nonbinary young adults (ages 18-25) from across the US with diverse identities and experiences, who advised our research team, ensuring community members' perspectives were reflected in the study..
Our team is committed to sharing findings from our research with community members through brief non-academic summaries of the academic papers we've published.
We have published one academic journal article using data from the GeMPIRe Study. If you would like to read any of the papers listed below and do not have access, please contact us with the paper title and we can send you the PDF.
We have additional articles in progress so please check back.
