Kinsey Distinguished Researcher Award was established in 2018 to honor renowned scientists and academics who shape our understanding of human sexuality through their sex research.Dr. Kinsey’s pioneering research changed the way human sexuality is perceived and led to a greater acceptance of diversity in sexual expression.
