NIH at DOGE Behest Cancels Nearly $2.2 Million in University Minority Research Grants

*The below is part of a larger report from Ohio’s NBC4.

Nearly $2.2 million worth of grant funding for university research was cancelled earlier this month by the NIH at the behest of DOGE. The majority of the funding dealt with the LGBTQ community. The remainder was specific to structural racism.

The report of course stems from a post on X by DOGE “itself”. The news article does confirm the cancellation of the cannabis use study funding. Others have not been independently verified as having been cancelled.
