Started as a tribute to Sandra R. Leiblum, Ph.D., a pioneering authority in sex therapy and SSTAR past president, the Leiblum Student Fund supports the next generation of researchers and leaders in sex therapy. Each year, the fund grants a small honorarium, travel and registration expenses to the winner of the Sandra R. Leiblum Student Research Award to present his or her winning research abstract at the SSTAR Annual Meeting.
The Leiblum Student Fund is supported by donations. To donate in memory or in honor of someone, you can do so when you join SSTAR or when you renew your membership. You can also make your donation when you register for the SSTAR Fall Clinical Case Conference or the SSTAR Annual Meeting. If you would like to make a donation outside of these methods, please contact us at info@sstarnet.org for more information.
All contributions to the Leiblum Student Fund are tax deductible in the United States as allowed by law. Donors will receive an acknowledgement letter from the SSTAR office and are recognized in the program of the SSTAR annual meeting.
