This 32-month project addresses organizational capacity needs through expansion of Egale’s research capacity and positioning the organization as a National LGBTQ2 Research Lab/Hub in order to ensure greater accessibility to knowledge, expertise, and best practices. This will address discrimination and oppression experienced by members of the LGBTQ2 community in Canada. Organizational capacity is being enhanced through establishing a National LGBTQ2 Academic Advisory Council; developing an online research hub; completing a literature review and conducting preliminary research summaries on key areas of interest; and promoting the research hub and individual studies and findings via online communication channels.
The additional funding is for the second phase of the project. In the second phase of the project, Egale will fortify sector knowledge and access to data, strengthen networks, advance intersectionality and build internal organizational human resources and strategic planning capacity.
