From time to time, TENI are approached by researchers to share opportunities to participate in research with the trans community. We have added all opportunities we think are relevant to this page. Please note TENI is not affiliated with any of these research projects, and all questions relating to the projects should be directed to the research team involved.
You are invited to participate in an anonymous survey to examine the frequency and types of abuse that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) people in Ireland are facing. This study is a collaboration between Trinity College Dublin, DCU, and UCD, and we are contacting LGBTQI+ organisations across the Republic of Ireland in the hopes of gathering as much information as possible. We will use this information to train medical practitioners and support services, as well as publish the results to give more information on the experiences of Irish LGBTQIA+ people. We als hope this research will inform policy, service provision, and legislation going forward.

Understanding and Responding to Sexual Violence in the LGBTQ+ Community
This study seeks to understand the experiences of LGBTQ+ people who have experienced sexual violence in Ireland, as well as the experiences of those who deliver services and supports to survivors. Our research has the potential to impact the development and improvement of services and supports for LGBTQ+ survivors of sexual violence in Ireland.
We are interested in hearing about the perspectives of LGBTQ+ people who have experienced any type of sexual violence, including those who sought professional support afterwards and those who chose not to. We are also interested in hearing about the perspectives of service providers who have supported LGBTQ+ survivors of sexual violence.
Sexual violence is defined as any sexual act which takes place without freely given consent, including crimes like rape, sexual abuse, image-based abuse (i.e., sharing intimate images or videos), sexual harassment, exploitation, or coercion.
Participation will involve attending a one-to-one confidential interview (in person or via zoom) and sharing your experience with the researcher.
Through this research, we aim to improve understanding of the perspectives of LGBTQ+ people who have experienced sexual violence in Ireland, as well as the experiences of those who deliver services and supports to survivors.

The aim of this study is to hear from marginalised communities about their experiences of being a patient staying in a public hospital in Ireland.
By marginalised communities, we mean those in Irish society who might experience disadvantage or discrimination due to their different identities related to sex, gender, age, ethnicity, religion or belief, health status, disability, sexual identity, education or income, or living in various geographic localities.
We are keen to include trans voices among those that share their experiences through this research.
You are invited to take part in a discussion about your experiences of being a patient in public hospitals in Ireland. This discussion can be either with researchers and other people who have experienced inpatient care in a public hospital or just between you and a researcher, and be in person or online. You can choose to take part in whichever way you are most comfortable with.
You can express interest in taking part here.
This study is part of a research project which aims to make the National Inpatient Experience Survey more accessible and inclusive for marginalised communities. The survey is managed and delivered by the Health Information and Quality Authority’s National Care Experience Programme.
