About The Kinsey Institute Board of Governors and Trustees

When The Kinsey Institute was founded by Alfred Kinsey in 1947 as The Institute for Sex Research, it was organized as two separate entities tied together: one an Indiana University research center devoted to research into human sexuality; the other a not-for-profit Indiana corporation which owned the Institute's research data and archives, collections, and databases. Each was governed by a separate board. This separation of duties back in the 1950s allowed the Institute to fulfill its research mission while protecting the privacy and anonymity of the subjects and correspondants who shared information about their sexual lives with researchers.

Today the Kinsey Institute Boards are instrumental in helping to expand our reach and effectiveness around the world. These committed individuals bring their expertise and donate their time to help The Kinsey Institute pursue its goals of research and education, and help to plan for the future. The boards meet several times annually to discuss the state and progress of The Kinsey Institute towards its mission to advance sexual health and knowledge worldwide.
