HHS Cuts Funds to AAP Over Language, Policies
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
The US Department of Health and Human Services has abruptly cut millions in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics, impacting crucial projects like early autism identification and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder research. The Academys CEO, Mark Del Monte, revealed that seven grants were terminated, affecting vital work in areas such as reducing sudden infant death, improving rural healthcare access, and supporting children with birth defects. The Department of Health and Human Services justified the cuts, stating that the grants no longer aligned with departmental priorities, citing the use of identity-based language in the grant materials. The Academy has since filed a lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services to challenge these vaccine policy changes.
