** Congratulations to our LGBTI Global Small Grants recipients
------------------------------------------------------------
In 2021, the Williams Institute launched a small grants program to foster new empirical research focused on LGBTI populations in the Global South and to support the work of researchers from those regions. Researchers from more than 40 countries submitted 115 proposals spanning a range of topics that disproportionately impact LGBTI people worldwide, including violence, access to healthcare, discrimination, legal gender recognition, and policing.
We are pleased to announce that seven proposals have been selected to receive awards. Visit our website ([link removed]) for full descriptions of each project.
