US Government Cancels Dozens of LGBTQ Health Research Grants, Sparking Outrage

U.S. News & World Report

The Trump administration has abruptly ended funding for dozens of research projects focused on LGBTQ health, sparking widespread concern among scientists and health experts. At least 68 grants to 46 institutions were terminated, according to a federal website, in a move that critics say will hinder public health progress and set back scientific research on LGBTQ issues, including mental health and HIV prevention. This decision has significant implications for the LGBTQ community and the broader field of public health, with many experts warning of potential long-term consequences. Key areas of concern include health disparities and access to care.
