[Indiana University (IU)] researchers are working to end the silence surrounding transgender injustice in the military.

IU associate instructor Joshua Trey Barnett and research associate Brandon Hill accepted a $12,000 grant to study issues surrounding transgender-related healthcare in the U.S. Military.

The PALM Center research institute in San Francisco commissioned Barnett and Hill as part of its Transgender Military Service Initiative.

The institute's research focuses on gender and sexuality issues in the military.
Ten other nationwide studies relating to uniform regulations, cost and complexity of care and transgender sports are included in the project, which is the first of its kind.
