摘要

2025年1月，美国新一届联邦政府出台了针对性少数群体（LGBTQIA+）、人类免疫缺陷病毒、气候变化和疫苗接种的政策。自那时起，美国国立卫生研究院终止了与LGBTQIA+健康研究相关的一半拨款——超过300笔拨款，总额超过8亿美元。在美国，取消对LGBTQIA+健康研究的资助不仅会阻止必要的研究，破坏公共卫生，还会破坏那些已经处于系统性逆境中的人的生活和生计。作为LGBTQIA+研究人员，我们亲身经历了拨款终止及其后果。我们只能把我们的经历和我们同事的经历描述为破坏性的、不稳定的和破坏生计的。这些拨款终止对LGBTQIA+研究人员来说是极其痛苦的，并将导致LGBTQIA+健康和更广泛的科学界人才的流失。

The hidden human cost of defunded LGBTQIA+ health research

In January 2025, the new US federal administration introduced policies targeting sexual and gender minority (LGBTQIA+) people, human immunodeficiency virus, climate change and vaccinations. Half of the US National Institutes of Health grants terminated since then — over 300 grants totaling more than US $800 million — related to LGBTQIA+ health research¹. Defunding LGBTQIA+ health research in the USA does not just stop essential research and undermine public health but also destabilizes the lives and livelihoods of people who are already navigating systemic adversity^2,3.

As LGBTQIA+-identified researchers ourselves, we experienced grant terminations and their consequences firsthand. We can only describe our experiences and those of our colleagues as devastating, destabilizing and livelihood destroying. These grant terminations are extremely distressing for LGBTQIA+ researchers and will lead to a loss of talent in both LGBTQIA+ health and broader scientific communities.

期刊介绍： Nature Medicine is a monthly journal publishing original peer-reviewed research in all areas of medicine. The publication focuses on originality, timeliness, interdisciplinary interest, and the impact on improving human health. In addition to research articles, Nature Medicine also publishes commissioned content such as News, Reviews, and Perspectives. This content aims to provide context for the latest advances in translational and clinical research, reaching a wide audience of M.D. and Ph.D. readers. All editorial decisions for the journal are made by a team of full-time professional editors. Nature Medicine consider all types of clinical research, including: -Case-reports and small case series -Clinical trials, whether phase 1, 2, 3 or 4 -Observational studies -Meta-analyses -Biomarker studies -Public and global health studies Nature Medicine is also committed to facilitating communication between translational and clinical researchers. As such, we consider “hybrid” studies with preclinical and translational findings reported alongside data from clinical studies.
