The Washington Blade laid the rumors to rest that our Institute for Health Research and Policy is losing federal funding that would affect its important scientific health research.
Excerpt:
“Officials at Whitman-Walker Health revealed that the organization’s Institute for Health Research and Policy is facing a 40 percent cut to its federal funding due to President Trump’s ongoing effort to reduce federal government spending.
The news was announced at a weekend drag brunch fundraiser held at Her Diner.
A spokesperson for Whitman-Walker told the Blade that final numbers of the cuts are not yet available and the full impact of the federal funding loss is not yet clear. The Institute for Health Research & Policy at Whitman-Walker works to advance good health outcomes via research, clinical trials, and evidence-based policy solutions. So, it’s fair to assume the cuts will impact research into HIV and cancer treatments.”
