Dr. Brian Dodge is the Director of the UA Institute for LGBT Studies and Professor in the Department of Health Promotion Sciences at the UA Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health. His research focuses on health and well-being among understudied and underserved sexual and gender minority populations, particularly diverse bisexual individuals. Dr. Dodge has served as Principal Investigator on some of the first National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded research projects focused specifically on bisexual health. In 2019, he co-chaired the NIH Bisexual Health Research Workshop, sponsored by the NIH Office of Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office (SGMRO). He spoke at two groundbreaking White House Bisexual Community Policy Briefings in Washington. His work is fueled by the active mentorship of graduate and postgraduate scholars, the use of an intersectional lens, and the translation of research findings into community-based advocacy.
