Did you know that LGBTQIA+ people have historically been excluded from health research? PRIDEnet is working to change that, and we need your help.
PRIDEnet is a national network of LGBTQ serving organizations who are working together to increase LGBTQ participation in health research studies. We are guided by the principle that LGBTQ people should be involved in every step of the research process, beginning with what questions get asked, all the way to how the results of research are shared and used by our community.
We are looking for PRIDEnet Ambassadors who are skilled storytellers, artists, community organizers, and/or social media mavens who can help us refine and share our messages in the community. If you are passionate about LGBTQ health and want to serve your community by shaping the future of LGBTQ health research, come join us.
Ambassadors are expected to attend meetings on the 4th Tuesday of each month (4 pm Eastern) and collaborate on 2 engagement events (digital or in-person) per year. A $1000 stipend, paid once every 6 months, is paid in consideration of your time and effort ($2,000/year total).
If you are interested, please attend one of the following information sessions, where we will give an introduction to our current LGBTQ health research projects, including The PRIDE Study, and the All of UsResearch Program. We will also take time to discuss the role of PRIDEnet Ambassadors and an overview of the application process.
To become involved:
After attending an information session, submit the PRIDEnet Ambassador Application by September 15, 2023. (Application link will be provided at the end of the information session.) Decisions will be sent via email by Friday, September 29, 2023.
