Mandi Pratt-Chapman was conducting a study to collect data on LGBTQ+ cancer patients aimed at enhancing their clinical care. However, the executive order by President Trump, which restricts federal funding for certain research areas, led to the abrupt termination of her grant from the National Cancer Institute. This decision not only halts her research but also affects related initiatives, raising concerns about the broader implications for scientific inquiry and the training of health professionals to meet the needs of LGBTQ+ individuals.
LGBTQ+ individuals often face discrimination in accessing healthcare, highlighting the critical need for research into their experiences and needs in the medical system.
