Experts criticize NIH for funding this research
The National Institutes of Health awarded nearly half a million dollars to study “gender-affirming care for BIPOC and rural gender diverse youth,” with some of that money coming after President Trump took office.
The most recent entry for the study shows the federal government spent $143,000 on the project in fiscal year 2025. However, another government database shows that taxpayers spent $428,296 on the research since April 2023.
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality provided the funding to a study conducted by Dr. Gina Sequeira, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
