I Am Conducting NIH-funded Research With Humans and Am Obtaining Identifiable Information About the Participants. Is My Research Covered by a Certificate of Confidentiality?
January 27, 2022

Should I Report the Sex or Gender of Study Participants to NIH?
December 16, 2021
NIH uses sex/gender to indicate that either sex or gender may be reported for inclusion enrollment purposes. The NIH encourages investigators to design their data collection instruments in a way that allows the participants to self-identify their sex or gender in a way that is meaningful within the study’s context. Participants always have the option not to identify with either sex/gender category. If both sex and gender identity are collected, investigators may choose which one to report based on the scientific question(s) that are the focus of the study.
