/1🚨EXPOSED — The Left is suing to reinstate Biden’s DEI grants, calling it “discrimination” to stop funding race-based woke research. But here’s what NIH really terminated: A pipeline of radical, discriminatory junk science. We read all 4,400 grants. Here’s what we found...🧵
/2 Biden’s HHS awarded $740,000 to NYU for a project titled ADEPT: Assessing Diversity Effects Post Affirmative Action Restrictions in Medical Schools. The purpose? To study how medical schools can adapt admissions and preserve racial preferences after the Supreme Court’s
/3 Biden’s HHS also awarded $2.1 million to Emory University to study meth use among black, gay, bisexual “men who have sex with men.” The goal of the project? To “generate knowledge” to ameliorate “meth-related harms among black GBMSM.” Apparently, “structural racism,” a
/4 $2.3 million went to a study claiming “structural racism” is the primary cause of disparities in kidney disease outcomes. Their solution? Discriminatory race-based “interventions” that would alter how kidney patients are prioritized for treatment and transplants.
/5 Biden’s HHS awarded $2.2 million to study alcohol use and “intersectional minority stress” in “sexual minority adolescents of color.” Yes, the federal government funded a 6-phase longitudinal study to examine the daily effects of “structural oppression” on teenage drinking
/6 TERMINATED: A $6 million taxpayer-funded program at the University of Michigan to recruit and advance “underrepresented” students in biomedical PhD programs based explicitly on race, sex, and ethnicity. The program was part of Michigan’s illegal $85 million DEI infrastructure
/7 Another $348,000 to study how stigma and romantic relationship issues affect alcohol use in “transgender and nonbinary young adults.” The real purpose? To help the researcher “launch an independent career,” reinforcing gender confusion through a woke therapy program called
/8 The Biden Admin awarded over $1.1 million to study how “sexual orientation fluidity” affects alcohol misuse, tracking whether people drink more when their sexual identity changes over time. This isn’t science. It’s taxpayer-funded social engineering — reframing addiction
/9 Another $262,704 grant funded “gender-affirming” peer-led intervention for “transgender women” (a.k.a biological men) and recommends “Acceptance and Commitment Therapy” to “encourage pride in one’s gender identity.” The researcher admits the grant will be used to launch a
/10 The Biden Admin pumped $26 million into Emory University’s “FIRST” program — a race-based academic pipeline built explicitly to recruit, train, and elevate women and “underrepresented” minorities in STEM and academia. The program partners with historically black colleges
/11 TERMINATED: A $2.1 million grant to the University of Washington that used Critical Race Theory to reshape addiction treatment. Researchers claimed COVID-era policies were “structural interventions” that must be re-engineered through a CRT lens. Another example of
/12 Biden’s NIH gave millions to Vanderbilt to hire 18 tenure-track faculty explicitly based on race. Black, Latinx, American Indian, or Pacific Islander only. Applicants outside those groups? Excluded. Ending this grant wasn’t discriminatory. Funding it was.
/13 The Left says pulling these grants is “discrimination” against racial minorities and LGBTQ+ Americans. But here’s the truth… What’s truly discriminatory is funneling billions in federal funds into “inclusive” identity-based pseudoscience that excludes everyone else.
