Federal agencies have been purging content related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and access (DEIA) from their websites following a Trump administration order. This has particularly impacted health agencies like the NIH, CDC, and FDA, which scrapped information on diverse populations crucial for medical research. The lack of representation in clinical trials has perpetuated health disparities, and this erasure of DEIA context threatens the integrity of science and the ability to address public health needs effectively. The author's departure from the NIH reflects broader concerns about the diminishing focus on meaningful research in this area.
Departments such as the National Institutes of Health are now devoid of resources addressing diverse populations in medical research, amplifying existing health disparities.
The removal of diversity, equity, and inclusion information from federal websites hints at a systemic erasure of important health-related insights affecting varied populations.
