$800 million worth of research into the health of L.G.B.T.Q. people, abandoning studies of cancers and viruses that tend to affect members of sexual minority groups and setting back efforts to defeat a resurgence of sexually transmitted infections, according to an analysis of federal data by The New York Times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In keeping with its deep opposition to both diversity programs and gender-affirming care for adolescents, the administration has worked aggressively to root out research touching on equity measures and transgender health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But its crackdown has reverberated far beyond those issues, eliminating swaths of medical research on diseases that disproportionately afflict L.G.B.T.Q. people, a group that comprises <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/20\/upshot\/lgbtq-survey-results.html\" title=\"\">nearly 10 percent<\/a> of American adults.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Of the 669 grants that the National Institutes of Health had canceled in whole or in part as of early May, at least 323 \u2014 nearly half of them \u2014 related to L.G.B.T.Q. health, according to a review by The Times of every terminated grant. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Federal officials had earmarked $806 million for the canceled projects, many of which had been expected to draw more funding in the years to come. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Scores of research institutions lost funding, a list that includes not only White House targets like Johns Hopkins and Columbia, but also public universities in the South and the Midwest, like Ohio State University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At Florida State University, $41 million worth of research was canceled, including a major effort to prevent H.I.V. in adolescents and young adults, who experience a fifth of new infections in the United States each year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In termination letters over the last two months, the N.I.H. justified the cuts by telling scientists that their L.G.B.T.Q. work \u201cno longer effectuates agency priorities.\u201d In some cases, the agency said canceled research had been \u201cbased on gender identity,\u201d which gave rise to \u201cunscientific\u201d results that ignored \u201cbiological realities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Other termination letters told scientists their studies erred by being \u201cbased primarily on artificial and nonscientific categories, including amorphous equity objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The cuts follow a surge in federal funding for L.G.B.T.Q. research over the past decade, and active encouragement from the N.I.H. for grant proposals focused on sexual and gender minority groups that began during the Obama administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">President Trump\u2019s allies have argued that the research is shot through with ideological bias.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere\u2019s been a train of abuses of the science to fit a preconceived conclusion,\u201d said Roger Severino of the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank that helped formulate some Trump administration policies. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAnd that was based on an unscientific premise that biology is effectively irrelevant, and a political project of trying to mainstream the notion that people could change their sex.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Scientists said canceling research on such a broad range of illnesses related to sexual and gender minority groups effectively created a hierarchy of patients, some more worthy than others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cCertain people in the United States shouldn\u2019t be getting treated as second-class research subjects,\u201d said Simon Rosser, a professor at the University of Minnesota whose lab was studying cancer in L.G.B.T.Q. people before significant funding was pulled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThat, I think, is anyone\u2019s definition of bigotry,\u201d he added. \u201cBigotry in science.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The canceled projects are among the most vivid manifestations of a broad dismantling of the infrastructure that has for 80 years supported medical research across the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Beyond terminating studies, federal officials have <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/21\/science\/nih-research-funding-delays.html\" title=\"\">gummed up<\/a> the grant-making process by slow-walking payments, delaying grant review meetings and scaling back new grant awards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Bigger changes may be in store: Mr. Trump on Friday proposed reducing the N.I.H. budget from roughly $48 billion to $27 billion, citing in part what he described as the agency\u2019s efforts to promote \u201cradical gender ideology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The legality of the mass terminations is unclear. Two separate lawsuits challenging the revocation of a wide range of grants \u2014 one filed by a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cspinet.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2025-04\/APHA%20v.%20NIH%2C%20Final%20Complaint_0.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">group of researchers<\/a>, and the other by <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/04\/us\/politics\/trump-nih-lawsuit.html\" title=\"\">16 states<\/a> \u2014 argued that the Trump administration had failed to offer a legal rationale for the cuts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The White House and the Department of Health and Human Services did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for the health department, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2025\/04\/04\/we-were-paying-what-trump-hhs-cuts-woke-lgbtq-grants\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">told The Daily Signal<\/a>, a conservative publication, last month that the move \u201caway from politicized D.E.I. and gender ideology studies\u201d was in \u201caccordance with the president\u2019s executive orders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The N.I.H. said in a statement: \u201cN.I.H. is taking action to terminate research funding that is not aligned with N.I.H. and H.H.S. priorities. We remain dedicated to restoring our agency to its tradition of upholding gold-standard, evidence-based science.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The L.G.B.T.Q. cuts ended studies on antibiotic resistance, undiagnosed autism in sexual minority groups, and certain throat and other cancers that disproportionately affect those groups. Funding losses have led to firings at some L.G.B.T.Q.-focused labs that had only recently been preparing to expand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The N.I.H. used to reserve grant cancellations for rare cases of research misconduct or possible harm to participants. The latest cuts, far from protecting research participants, are instead putting them in harm\u2019s way, scientists said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They cited the jettisoning of clinical trials, which have now been left without federal funding to care for volunteer participants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe\u2019re stopping things that are preventing suicide and preventing sexual violence,\u201d said Katie Edwards, a professor at the University of Michigan, whose funding for several clinical trials involving L.G.B.T.Q. people was canceled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">H.I.V. research has been hit particularly hard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The N.I.H. ended several major grants to the Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for H.I.V.\/AIDS Intervention, a program that had helped lay the groundwork for the use in adolescents of a medication regimen that can prevent infections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That regimen, known as pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is credited with helping beat back the disease in young people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Cuts to the program have endangered an ongoing trial of a product that would prevent both H.I.V. and pregnancy and a second trial looking at combining sexual health counseling with behavioral therapy to reduce the spread of H.I.V. in young sexual minority men who use stimulants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Together with the termination of dozens of other H.I.V. studies, the cuts have undermined Mr. Trump\u2019s stated goal from his first term to end the country\u2019s H.I.V. epidemic within a decade, scientists said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The N.I.H. terminated work on other sexually transmitted illnesses, as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Matthew Spinelli, an infectious disease researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, was in the middle of a clinical trial of doxycycline, a common antibiotic that, taken after sex, can prevent some infections with syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The trial was, he said, \u201cas nerdy as it gets\u201d: a randomized study in which participants were given different regimens of the antibiotic to see how it is metabolized.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He hoped the findings would help scientists understand the drug\u2019s effectiveness in women, and also its potential to cause drug resistance, a concern that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cidrap.umn.edu\/antimicrobial-stewardship\/senator-questions-cdcs-proposed-post-exposure-doxycycline-recommendation\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">voiced in the past<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But health officials, citing their opposition to research regarding \u201cgender identity,\u201d halted funding for the experiment in March. That left Dr. Spinelli without any federal funding to monitor the half-dozen people who had already been taking the antibiotic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It also put the thousands of doses that Dr. Spinelli had bought with taxpayer money at risk of going to waste. He said stopping work on diseases like syphilis and H.I.V. would allow new outbreaks to spread.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe H.I.V. epidemic is going to explode again as a result of these actions,\u201d said Dr. Spinelli, who added that he was speaking only for himself, not his university. \u201cIt\u2019s devastating for the communities affected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Despite a recent emphasis <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/01\/health\/federal-report-denounces-gender-treatments-for-adolescents.html\" title=\"\">on the downsides of transitioning<\/a>, federal officials canceled several grants examining the potential risks of gender-affirming hormone therapy. The projects looked at whether hormone therapy could, for example, increase the risk of breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, altered brain development or H.I.V. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Other terminated grants examined ways of addressing mental illness in transgender people, who now make up about <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/08\/health\/transgender-teenagers-cdc-survey.html\" title=\"\">3 percent of high school students<\/a> and report sharply higher rates of persistent sadness and suicide attempts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For Dr. Edwards, of the University of Michigan, funding was halted for a clinical trial looking at how online mentoring might reduce depression and self-harm among transgender teens, one of six studies of hers that were canceled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another examined interventions for the families of L.G.B.T.Q. young people to promote more supportive caregiving and, in turn, reduce dating violence and alcohol use among the young people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The N.I.H. categorizes research only by certain diseases, making it difficult to know how much money the agency devotes to L.G.B.T.Q. health. But a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/ajph.aphapublications.org\/doi\/abs\/10.2105\/AJPH.2024.307913?journalCode=ajph\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">report in March<\/a> estimated that such research made up less than 1 percent of the N.I.H. portfolio over a decade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Times sought to understand the scale of terminated funding for L.G.B.T.Q. medical research by reviewing the titles and, in many cases, research summaries for each of the 669 grants that the Trump administration said it had canceled in whole or in part as of early May.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Beyond grants related to L.G.B.T.Q. people and the diseases and treatments that take a disproportionate toll on them, The Times included in its count studies that were designed to recruit participants from sexual and gender minority groups.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-11\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It excluded grants related to illnesses like H.I.V. that were focused on non-L.G.B.T.Q. patients.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While The Times examined only N.I.H. research grants, the Trump administration is also ending or considering ending L.G.B.T.Q. programs elsewhere in the federal health system. It has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2025\/04\/23\/lgbtq-hotline-funds-eliminated-hhs-draft-leak\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">proposed<\/a>, for example, scrapping a specialized suicide hotline for L.G.B.T.Q. young people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The research cuts stand to hollow out a field that in the last decade had not only grown larger, but also come to encompass a wider range of disease threats beyond H.I.V.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Already, scientists said, younger researchers are losing jobs in sexual and gender minority research and scrubbing their online biographies of evidence that they ever worked in the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Five grants obtained by Brittany Charlton, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, have been canceled, including one looking at sharply elevated rates of stillbirths among L.G.B.T.Q. women.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ending research on disease threats to gender and sexual minority groups, she said, would inevitably rebound on the entire population. \u201cWhen other people are sick around you, it does impact you, even if you may think it doesn\u2019t,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Irena Hwang<!-- --> contributed reporting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/04\/health\/trump-administration-slashes-research-into-lgbtq-health.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration has scrapped more than $800 million worth of research into the health of L.G.B.T.Q. people, abandoning studies<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[114,884,236,144,1353,982,268,1588,638,113,111],"class_list":["post-23195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science","tag-donald-j","tag-federal-budget-us","tag-gender","tag-health-and-human-services-department","tag-homosexuality-and-bisexuality","tag-national-institutes-of-health","tag-research","tag-sexually-transmitted-diseases","tag-transgender","tag-trump","tag-united-states-politics-and-government"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Trump Administration Slashes Research Into L.G.B.T.Q.
