The Kinsey Institute invites applications for two competitive research awards that provide in-person access to the Institute’s internationally renowned Library & Special Collections at Indiana University Bloomington. These awards support original scholarship drawing on one of the world’s most significant archives on sexuality, relationships, gender, and human behavior—spanning manuscripts, publications, fine art, photography, ephemera, and scientific data across disciplines including biology, medicine, psychology, anthropology, literature, religion, art history, law, and more.
Two award categories are available and currently accepting applications:
- The Gina Ogden Curatorial Scholarship for Integrative Approaches to Sex Research and Therapy. Supports applicants seeking to research new, thoughtful, and inclusive approaches to sex research and therapy that build on the work of Dr. Gina Ogden’s Four-Dimensional Wheel approach. It provides $3,000 to support a 4-8 week visit to the Kinsey Institute.
- The Scholars of Sexology Fellowship. Supports academic research relating to sexuality for a wide range of academic disciplines from art history to health sciences to informatics. Available to candidates enrolled in a U.S. graduate program from any academic discipline or university, it provides $5,000 to support a 2-4 week visit to the Kinsey Institute.
Applicants across a wide range of disciplines encouraged to apply before February 13, 2026. For more details, requirements, and how to apply, visit: kinseyinstitute.org/about/opportunities.html
