RFK Jr.’s HHS slashes $122M across nearly 200 DEI, LGBT-focused research projects
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services has stopped nearly $122 million in grants to research deemed a poor use of taxpayer funds due to focus on LGBT topics and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), The Post has learned.
The grants, funding 195 different projects, were determined by the Trump administration to focus too narrowly on sexual or racial minority groups — drawing outrage from some holdover officials from the Biden administration and contributing to at least one high-profile resignation this week.
The precise savings are difficult to calculate due to the fact that some awards were partially dispensed and often span multiple years. Most of the grants were scrapped in March in cooperation with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), but others were canceled as recently as this month.
Among the biggest grants to be axed was $5.5 million from the National Cancer Institute to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for the “Vanderbilt FIRST” initiative that aims to “recruit at least 18 tenure-track faculty from minoritized [sic] racial and ethnic groups,” according to data reviewed by The Post.
The prestigious Nashville, Tenn., university has an endowment of more than $10 billion — ranked among America’s top 20 — but said the funds were needed to “identify and eliminate organizational barriers that impede full participation, advancement, and thriving of racially diverse faculty in academia.”
Drexel University, a less wealthy but still well-regarded Philadelphia institution, similarly received more than $4.6 million from the National Cancer Institute for “Catalyzing Systemic Change at Drexel University to Support Diverse Faculty in Health Disparities Research.”
The project abstract says the money would be used by Drexel for “mentoring and supporting diverse early-stage faculty dedicated to health disparities research.”
