Verified state of federal publication and reporting: "gender minority" absent from the Federal Register since inauguration; NIH suppresses FY2026-27 category estimates

A Federal Register full-text query returns zero documents from any agency containing the phrase "gender minority" published on or after January 20, 2025 through August 21, 2026. Over the identical window, 77 documents contain "gender identity," confirming the query is functioning and that the absence is specific to the SGM terminology rather than an artifact of search. The final Federal Register occurrence of "sexual and gender minority" is January 16, 2025 (an FDA tobacco product standard), four days before inauguration; the last NIH document using the phrase is dated October 21, 2024. Separately, NIH's RePORT categorical spending page — which publishes NIH funding by Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization (RCDC) category — shows historical data only through FY2025 and states that "Estimates for FY2026 and FY2027 are not provided by category at this time due to evolving changes in the administration priorities," removing forward-looking visibility into category-level spending.
