The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University promotes interdisciplinary research and scholarship in the fields of human sexuality, gender, and reproduction. The Institute was founded in 1947, just before the publication of Sexual Behavior in the Human Male in 1948. Today the Institute investigates sexual behavior and sexual health today, and carries out its mission through:

* development of collections of resources for scholars;

* programs of research and research publications;

* presentation of interdisciplinary conferences and seminars;

* provision of information services;

* graduate training
