The Trump administration has scrapped more than $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

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

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 nearly 10 percent<\/a> of American adults.<\/p>\n

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<\/div>\n

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

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
