RESEARCH RESOURCES
These resources were created to help research teams create studies and research experiences that center the trans community.
We held a TRANS-ARC Virtual Research Summit in March 2021. At the Summit, we heard presentations from trans community members, clinicians and researchers about surgery and transgender health research.
In small groups we worked together to create research questions, discussed barriers to community engagement in research, and brainstormed ways to share the results of our work and future research with the community we serve. Those summit presentations and resources are available for all to use.
