The Transgender Project
What is The Transgender Project?
The National Development and Research Institutes has received a grant
from the National Institutes of Health to begin and EXTENSIVE and IN
DEPTH, 5 year study of the TRANSGENDER community in the greater NYC
metro area. We believe this is the most thorough study of our
community to date.
Qualified participants will be asked numerous questions about their
past lives—–childhood, early and late teen years, and present day
lives. Questions about your family, school, friends, co-workers, and
social situations will be asked of each participant. How we perceive
ourselves, how we think others see us; acceptance and support-or the
lack of; sexual relationships, and activities—–these issues will all
be addressed.
In a very real sense, you'll be telling your life story.
Who Qualifies as a Participant?
· Male to Female Transgendered Persons or anyone who was born male
but does not identify as male full-time—TV's, CD's, (24/7 or Part
Time), Pre-, Post-, or Non-Op TS, TG, gender variant, gender non-
conforming, etc.
· You must reside in the greater NYC Metro area.
· You must be 19 years of age or older.
· Hetero, Bi, Gay, or however you may classify yourself.
· Qualified participants must be willing to make a 3 year commitment
to the project.
· You must be willing to be screened for STD's-HIV.
What's in it for me?
· Qualified participants are eligible for modest financial remuneration. $30 for initial interview and blood anaysis, $10 for follow up visit.
· As a participant, you will receive free blood and urine analysis for sexually transmitted diseases and HIV.
· Should you need it, NDRI/The Transgender Project will arrange medical treatment for you—in almost all cases, FREE OF CHARGE.
· You will become a very important part of the MOST COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF OUR COMMUNITIES ON THE EAST COAST TO DATE.
YOU CAN EXPECT AND WILL RECEIVE ONLY THE MOST CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT OF YOUR INFORMATION
THE MORE WE LEARN ABOUT OURSELVES,
THE MORE WE CAN TEACH OTHERS
