Gender Affirmation Project
The Trans-ilience Research Lab is proud to partner with Allen Neighborhood Center, the MSU Triangle Bar Association, and the Salus Center to present the Gender Affirmation Project, a program that provides financial and practical assistance to transgender and nonbinary folks in Ingham County seeking to update their legal name and/or gender marker.
Research
Our research broadly focuses on minority stress and resilience in transgender and gender diverse communities. We examine questions related to this area using a variety of methods and approaches, including qualitative work exploring unique minority stressors in transgender communities, as well as quantitative work exploring how minority stress and resilience relate to health outcomes.

We have a variety of on-going research studies and collaborations described below. For more information about our community-engaged approach or our overall research philosophy, see here.
