In the past month, the NIH terminated many ISGMH grants focused on HIV prevention, LGBTQ health, and training early career scholars. The effect on our institute has been devastating.

Director @mustanski.bsky.social spoke to @nbcnews.com about the impact. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...
Trump administration axes more than $125M in LGBTQ health funding, upending research field
The administration’s cancellation of hundreds of grants is dismantling the LGBTQ-focused research field, built out of nothing over a quarter century.

I am set to finish my PhD at the end of this April. While this is exciting, I am worried about what comes after. I am still on the hunt for jobs and post docs that would allow me to continue doing research on the needs/experiences of LGBTQ folk. If you know/hear of anything, can you send it my way?
