Objective: To describe the public funding of research on LGTBIQ + health in Spain.
Method: We conducted an observational and descriptive study. We sought research projects dealing
with LGTBIQ + health funded by the research projects grant from the Instituto Carlos III from 2013 to
2019. We consulted the webpage and the FIS portal and we identified projects that included LGTB community, totally or partially. We estimated the absolute and relative frequencies of LGTBIQ + projects in
relation to totalfunded projects; and we described the LGTBIQ + funded projects by year offunding,topics,
LGTBIQ + subpopulation, or funding.
Results: Only 0,4% (n = 16) of 4404 funded projects included —totally or partially— LGTBIQ + community,
which represents only 0,3% of the funding. LGTBIQ + projects mainly focused on men who have sex
with men (n = 14) and the human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) (n = 11). The number of funded
LGTBIQ + projects decreased from 2013 (n = 6) to 2019 (n = 0).
Conclusions: Research projects on LGTBIQ + health are scarce in Spain. Current funding for research on
LGTBIQ + health is insufficient to care for population other than HIV and men within LGTBIQ + . There is
a compelling necessity to promote the LGTBIQ + health research to mitigate health disparities, to offer
inclusive health services, and to improve healthcare of about 3 million LGTBIQ + people living in Spain
