The Center for Research and Education on Gender and Sexuality (CREGS) was born of the merger
between the Center for Research on Gender and Sexuality and the National Sexuality Resource Center,
both formerly at San Francisco State University (SF State). CREGS is closely tied to the Department of
Sexuality Studies at SFSU, the only graduate program in sexuality studies offered in a public university
in the U.S.
Prior to this merger, the Center for Research on Gender and Sexuality had been a multidisciplinary
research institution focused on questions of gender and sexuality with the goal of increasing social
justice and examining the social constructs that contribute to health inequities. The National Sexuality
Resource Center had, since 2003, been a premiere voice in the movement away from a disease-
prevention model of sexual health to a more holistic model that promotes healthy sexuality.
CREGS specializes in policy-relevant research on gender and sexuality, particularly as they relate to
HIV prevention and other sexual health disparities, as well as education and training of students,
researchers and practitioners in the field.

EnterComments on Financial History:
[From last submission, if helpful to repurpose:] For the past 8 years, the National Sexuality Resource
Center has been predominantly supported by the Ford Foundation. The Center for Research on Gender
and Sexuality had a broad range of federal and foundation grants for research projects,ranging from R-
series NIH grants to Programa de Investigación en Migración y Salud (PIMSA). As a merged center,
CREGS is currently supported by bridge funding from the Ford Foundation and ongoing federally-funded
research projects. In addition, CREGS benefits from its relationship with SFSU, which provides space
and infrastructure support for the Center and its faculty.
Fundraising Plan
The fundraising plan should givea senseof how theorganization expects to ensurethat theproject and/or
organization will havethe resources necessary to succeed. Pleasebriefly outlineyourplan to sustain your
efforts overthe next oneto three years. (2,200 characters)
[From last submission, to repurpose, ifhelpful]: CREGS is a multidisciplinary research and education
center with a diverse range of funding streams. The research arm of the Center is largely supported by
NIH grants, specifically from the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development. The education and training arm of CREGS has largely been supported
by private foundations including the Ford Foundation.
The Campaign is also designed to incorporate a broad range of funding streams including NIH grants and
private foundational support. Each component of the Campaign is integrated but designed to be funded as
a separate “project.” The institutional assessment will be supported by private foundations; currently
proposals are planned or submitted to Arcus Foundation and Aetna Foundation among others.
CREGS will apply for a NIH P30 Center grant which will provide infrastructure funding to support URM
junior researchers and their work. This Center grant will focus on the themes of sexual health promotion
and cultural competency in research for URM communities. To increase URM researchersin the pipeline,
CREGS will apply for a NIH grant mechanism (R25) to support the enhanced education program
component of the Campaign. The professional training component will be primarily supported by fees,
the training programs are designed to provide continuing education credit for various licensed
professionals in the field. Finally, the coalition’s policy activities will be supported by a combination of
private foundational support and CREGS will seek to share resources with partners,such as the
Morehouse School of Medicine and the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United
States.
