Call for Research
NOHARMM promotes high quality research in the fields of urology, sexology, neurology, psychology, epidemiology, religious studies, and other relevant fields. We can provide assistance with finding subjects and controls, grant-seeking, clerical and technical assistance, networking with other researchers, etc.
Researchers are urged to obtain a copy of Awakenings to use as a foundation for further investigation into the consequences of male genital cutting customs.
