Assistant Professor of Community Health Systems Annesa Flentje, PhD, has been named one of two inaugural recipients of a 2018 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM) Investigator Award, which recognizes early-stage investigators who have made substantial, outstanding research contributions in areas related to SGM and who are poised to become a future leader or are already leading the field of SGM health research. NIH has invited Dr. Flentje on an expenses-paid trip to give a lecture (which will be webcast live) at the NIH campus in September.
