The Program is designed to support work that will have a direct impact on law and policy, particularly on current debates regarding bans on trans students’ participation in K-12 school sports. Scholars from a variety of disciplines, including social sciences (e.g.,economics, sociology, demography, social psychology), public health, law, and public policy, are encouraged to apply.
The program promotes three goals:
- Generating sound research on trans students’ participation and inclusion in sports and related issues that are directly related to law and policy.
- Developing a better understanding of how laws and public policies regarding trans students’ participation in sports impact the lives of trans people, including trans athletes and trans youth generally.
