The Department of Government Efficiency announced that the National Institutes of Health has canceled more than $2.1 billion in grants, including one for $620,000 involving a “teen pregnancy prevention program for transgender boys.”
In addition to the teen pregnancy program, DOGE wrote in a post Tuesday night on X that the NIH canceled a $699,000 grant for studying “cannabis use” among “sexual minority gender diverse individuals,” $740,000 for examining “social networks” among “black and Latino sexual minority men in New Jersey,” $50,000 for assessing “sexual health” among “LGTBQ+ Latinx youth in an agricultural community,” and $75,000 for researching “structural racism.”
The news comes a week after DOGE, in a post March 5 on X, announced the NIH canceled seven grants for transgender experiments on animals including, a $532,000 grant to “use a mouse model to investigate the effects of cross-sex testosterone treatment” and a $33,000 grant to test “feminizing hormone therapy in the male rat.”
