This Taiwan-UK Sex, Gender and Sexuality Health Network project will bring together social researchers working in Taiwan and the UK to build relationships, exchange ideas and plan collaborative research projects. All the researchers have interests in the health and well-being of people who are in a minority because of their bodies, their masculinity or femininity, or their sexual orientation. Sex, gender, and sexual orientation are increasingly important concepts in the cultural life of both countries and in research. People designing general population surveys recognise a need for more sensitive questions that register human differences important for health, civil rights, and quality of life. People doing focussed investigations about sex, gender and sexuality need a common vocabulary to communicate their concepts and findings. This project will address both of these needs.Our project starts with a small taskforce of nine researchers, who will identify and approach up to one hundred relevant researchers in each country. They will be offered a 'match-making' service to pair them with an appropriate corresponding researcher in the other country based on common interests or research methods (for example, surveys, qualitative investigations, observation, documentary analysis, experiments, literature reviewing). We call the research couples 'net-pals' (like pen-pals but over the internet). Net-pals will be asked to address together some key questions about how they define and measure the various aspects of sex and gender, and to explore common interests. We hope the combination of significant cultural difference and prominent academic similarity will spark fresh ideas for research investigations.With the help of this network of researchers, the taskforce will compile a directory of questions that are or can be used in research to classify or measure sex, gender and sexual orientation. This will be available to the research network and will be used as a foundation for focussed discussion of the concepts in two facilitated groups of 10 researchers, one in each country. These discussions will identify challenges and opportunities for SGS measurement and research with SGS minorities.All net-pals and other researchers will be invited to a mixed online/in-person workshop on SGS measurement, delivered by the taskforce in Taiwan to coincide with the International Conference on Gender in Science & Technology.To deepen the research relationship between the taskforce members, two UK researchers will visit Taiwan to present ideas and participate in an SGS stakeholders conference about the project where people can comment on the net-pals' research ideas. Following this process, six net-pal pairs will be invited and supported to make short films about topics of interest for dissemination on social media.For balance, three Taiwan researchers will make a reciprocal visit to the UK to review the final directory of questions (with matching questions in English and Mandarin Chinese), to meet with significant UK scholars, and to attend a half-day symposium at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine where the taskforce will review and present the outcomes of the overall project.In summary, we plan to establish a Taiwan-UK research network that will create channels of communication, identify valid and appropriate measures, and develop collaborative UK-Taiwan research projects. We intend that these together will improve research and thereby increase the health and well-being of people marginalised because of their sex, their gender and/or their sexuality.

这个台湾-英国性，性别和性健康网络项目将汇集在台湾和英国工作的社会研究人员建立关系，交流思想和规划合作研究项目。所有的研究人员都对那些因为身体、男性气质或女性气质或性取向而处于少数地位的人的健康和福祉感兴趣。性、性别和性取向在两国的文化生活和研究中越来越重要。设计一般人口调查的人认识到需要更敏感的问题，这些问题记录了对健康，公民权利和生活质量至关重要的人类差异。对性、性别和性行为进行重点调查的人需要一个共同的词汇来传达他们的概念和发现。本项目将满足这两方面的需求。我们的项目从一个由9名研究人员组成的小型工作组开始，他们将在每个国家确定并接触多达100名相关研究人员。他们将获得“牵线搭桥”服务，根据共同兴趣或研究方法（例如调查、定性调查、观察、文件分析、实验、文献审查），将他们与另一个国家的相应研究人员配对。我们称这些研究对象为“网友”（类似于笔友，但通过互联网）。网友们将被要求一起解决一些关键问题，他们如何定义和衡量性和性别的各个方面，并探讨共同的利益。我们希望，显著的文化差异和突出的学术相似性的结合将为研究调查带来新的想法。在这个研究人员网络的帮助下，工作组将编制一个问题目录，这些问题将用于或可以用于对性别、性别和性取向进行分类或测量的研究。这将提供给研究网络，并将作为两个由10名研究人员组成的促进小组重点讨论这些概念的基础，每个国家一个。这些讨论将确定SGS测量和SGS少数民族研究的挑战和机遇。所有网友和其他研究人员将被邀请参加SGS测量的在线/面对面混合研讨会，由台湾的工作组举办，以配合科学技术中的性别国际会议。为了加深工作组成员之间的研究关系，两位英国研究人员将访问台湾，提出想法，并参加SGS的利益相关者会议，在那里人们可以评论网友的研究想法。在此过程中，将邀请并支持六对网友制作有关感兴趣主题的短片，以在社交媒体上传播。为了平衡，三名台湾研究人员将回访英国，以审查最终的问题目录（用英语和汉语普通话回答相应的问题），与英国著名学者会面，并参加在伦敦卫生与热带医学学院举行的半天研讨会，回顾并介绍整个项目的成果。总之，我们计划建立一个台英研究网络，建立沟通渠道，确定有效和适当的措施，并开发英国和台湾的合作研究项目。我们打算将这些结合起来，以改善研究，从而提高因其性别，性别和/或性取向而被边缘化的人的健康和福祉。
