The LGBT community is under-represented in psychological, sociological, and other forms of research. If you are interested in the Center assisting you in the promotion of your study, please send us a copy of your research proposal and IRB approval to info@lgbtccneworleans.org. Please also answer the following questions: 1) How will your research benefit the LGBT community in New Orleans, 2) What is the intended destination for this research (a thesis, published paper, conference presentation, etc.) and will you share a copy of your findings with the Center? We carefully review every application before we distribute it to our constituents, particularly looking for the benefit to our community and the use of offensive or dated language when referring to LGBTQ people. Please refer to this guide from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) on offensive language: http://www.glaad.org/reference/offensive.
