Jennifer M. Grossman

I am a senior research scientist at the Wellesley Centers for Women, where I lead the Family, Sexuality, and Communication Research Initiative. In 2023, I received a 3-year grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop and pilot an intervention for fathers and teens to support healthy family communication about sex and relationships. I also received a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to evaluate the effectiveness of Planned Parenthood's "Get Real: Comprehensive Sex Education That Works," a comprehensive sex education program for high school students.
