Integration: Applications that clearly articulate how sex and/or gender will be integrated into research designs and approaches (e.g., designs that test hypotheses related to the effects of sex and/or gender; studies focused on similarities and differences within or between groups of women, girls, men, boys or gender-diverse people, studies that explicitly use male and/or female animal/tissue or cell models to explore sex-based mechanisms). Innovation: Applications that foster innovative approaches to sex, gender and health research (e.g., applications that develop, assess and/or enhance theories and conceptual frameworks that underpin research or that contribute to methods and measurement tools). In determining relevancy, IGH considers whether the application is relevant to the mission of IGH and whether the proposal has a substantive focus on sex and/or gender (i.e., sex and/or gender are an integral aspect of the applicant's research question(s) and research design). In determining whether a proposal has a substantive focus, IGH considers: Does the proposed research focus on groups or populations with an explicit emphasis on how sex and/or gender affect outcomes? In studies that focus only on women/females or men/males, does the proposed research provide an explicit rationale for this approach? Does the proposed research include an explanation of how sex and/or gender are being conceptualized and applied in the study?
