IN BRIEF
The Frances McClelland Institute for Children, Youth, and Families at the University of Arizona has been awarded a $200,000 grant to study how student sexuality, gender and conformity norms affect school systems.
The Ford Foundation awarded the grant this week for the two-year study.
Stephen T. Russell, Institute director, said in a news release that past research has focused on the connection between student sexuality and gender norms, and overall health or student well-being.
The new study will examine how schools, districts and state education systems can implement programs and policies to improve student safety and create a better world for youth.
