Summary
A further round of March 2025 termination letters extended beyond human-subjects trans-health research to any study involving transgender-related variables — including basic-science work using cross-sex hormone administration in mice — indicating the purge keyed on subject matter rather than program design. Terminations in this period also swept HIV-prevention studies enrolling transgender women and sexual- and gender-minority youth cohorts.
Status
Same posture as the February wave: vacated as to plaintiffs in APHA v. NIH and GLMA v. NIH; otherwise stands following the Supreme Court's August 21, 2025 partial stay.
