GENDRO is an international non-profit organisation based in Geneva, Switzerland, that has been referenced in scientific and policy-oriented publications in connection with research reporting standards and sex- and gender-responsive approaches to health research.[1]

Background

GENDRO was established in 2018 by researcher Shirin Heidari together with collaborators from public health, medicine, and gender studies.[2] Its formation occurred amid wider discussions within scientific publishing and global health research on the need for more systematic integration of sex and gender considerations, as reflected in independent coverage of changes to research reporting standards.[3]

Governance

The organisation is led by an Executive Director and overseen by a board composed of researchers and policy specialists. GENDRO also maintains a Scientific Advisory Board with expertise in gender analysis, clinical research, epidemiology, and global health.[4] In addition to its core team in Geneva, GENDRO coordinates the Gender, Evidence and Health (GEH) Network, which includes members from academic and policy institutions in multiple regions.[5]

Activities

GENDRO’s activities include training and methodological guidance aimed at integrating sex and gender analysis into health research and research reporting.[6]

Training and capacity-building

The organisation conducts seminars, workshops, and technical sessions aimed at research institutions, scientific journals, and public health agencies. These activities focus on integrating sex-disaggregated data practices, gender analysis frameworks, and standards for research transparency.[7]

Development of research frameworks

GENDRO contributes to the development of tools and guidelines intended to support systematic integration of sex and gender considerations in research. Members of the organisation were involved in the development and dissemination of the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) Guidelines, which are used by several scientific publishers and editorial organisations worldwide.[8]

Policy and advisory work

The organisation collaborates with multilateral agencies, health research funders, and academic bodies on frameworks for gender-responsive research governance. It has participated in consultations on research integrity, publication standards, and equity-oriented data systems within global health institutions.[9]

Impact

Through partnerships with organisations such as the World Health Organization, the EQUATOR Network, and the European Association of Science Editors, GENDRO has been cited in discussions on efforts to increase attention to sex and gender considerations in scholarly publishing and research evaluation.[7] The SAGER Guidelines, which have been widely disseminated and translated into multiple languages, are cited by scientific editors as a reference for improving reporting standards.[10]

In addition, GENDRO’s engagement with researchers and policy actors has supported the integration of equity-oriented approaches in research funding calls, methodological reviews, and institutional capacity-building initiatives.[11]

Reception

GENDRO has been referenced in discussions on research integrity and sex- and gender-sensitive reporting in scientific publishing. Coverage in journals such as Nature and policy-oriented health publications has linked the organisation’s work to broader debates on improving transparency and equity in biomedical research.[12][13]
