Building on the deep scholarship of the Vanderbilt LGBTQ+ Policy Lab, our research advances understanding of how social and policy contexts impact the health and lives of LGBTQIA+ people.

The LGBTQ+ Policy Lab and the Center for Research on Inequality and Health produce Community Research Reports that dive deep on how these issues affect the local community.
