** Congratulations to our 2022 Global LGBTI Seed Grants recipients
------------------------------------------------------------

Williams Institute's Global LGBTI Seed Grant program fosters new empirical research focused on LGBTI populations in the Global South and supports the work of researchers from those regions. In 2022, the Williams Institute expanded its grant program by partnering with SAGE ([link removed]) to offer additional grants for research and data collection specifically on LGBTI older adults (ages 50 and above) in the Global South.

Researchers and scholars from 47 countries submitted 162 proposals on a range of topics, including violence, migration, discrimination, access to health care, and elder care. We are pleased to announce that seven proposals have been selected for awards, including three projects focused on older adults.
