Aug 9, 2019 - Mar 31, 2023

This 44-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 to 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. 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 resource and strategic planning capacity. These objectives will be achieved through expanding and solidifying the National LGBTQI2S Academic Advisory Committee, conducting critical research into key issue areas and addressing human resources and strategic planning needs within the organization. In the third phase of the project, Egale will continue to build their knowledge, expertise and create best practices for solutions to address discrimination and oppression experienced by members of the LGBTQI2S community in Canada.
