We used the NIH RePORTER system to search for LGBT-related terms in NIH-funded research from 1989 through 2011. We coded abstracts for LGBT inclusion, subpopulations studied, health foci, and whether studies involved interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results. NIH funded 628 studies concerning LGBT health. Excluding projects about HIV\/AIDS and other sexual health matters, only 0.1% (n\u2009=\u2009113) of all NIH-funded studies concerned LGBT health. Among the LGBT-related projects, 86.1% studied sexual minority men, 13.5% studied sexual minority women, and 6.8% studied transgender populations. Overall, 79.1% of LGBT-related projects focused on HIV\/AIDS and substantially fewer on illicit drug use (30.9%), mental health (23.2%), other sexual health matters (16.4%), and alcohol use (12.9%). Only 202 studies examined LGBT health\u2013related interventions. Over time, the number of LGBT-related projects per year increased.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions. The lack of NIH-funded research about LGBT health contributes to the perpetuation of health inequities. Here we recommend ways for NIH to stimulate LGBT-related research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2013.301501","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,12]],"date-time":"2013-12-12T16:04:02Z","timestamp":1386864242000},"page":"e105-e112","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":237,"title":["Research Funded by the National Institutes of Health on the Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Populations"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"104","author":[{"given":"Robert W.\u2009S.","family":"Coulter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Robert W.\u2009S.
