The Trump administration has canceled at least 68 grants focused on LGBTQ health questions, sparking concerns among researchers studying the health of gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals. This move is seen as part of a broader effort to target what the administration calls 'ideologically driven science'. The canceled grants were set to explore critical health issues affecting the LGBTQ community, including mental health, HIV prevention, and social determinants of health. This decision may have significant implications for the community, highlighting the need for continued support and funding for LGBTQ health research and advocacy. Key areas of concern include health disparities and access to care.
