First on FOX: Watchdog Group focuses on removing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from medicine, with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively spending millions of dollars on the market. We found that the number of racial minorities in the workforce is increasing.
The funds, revealed by the non-profit watchdog, are not harmful and NCI grants for “undervalued” groups (mainly racial minorities) are actively diversified by the NCIs It shows that. Before President Donald Trump took office, during the Biden administration, approximately 3% of NCI total grant funds went to institutions each year, and it was said that no harm was allowed to hire more faculty and minority scientists. It's done.
Revelation arises as Elon Musk's Doge puts a large number of Dei-related funds into the chopping block in an effort to slim down government spending. Trump and fellow Republicans have been pushing DEI policies vigorously throughout the government in recent weeks, arguing that public programs should instead focus on meritocracy.

Among the NCI's DEI grants that continue to operate under Trump are more than the total $2.5 million awarded to Icahn Medical School in Mount Sinai. These grants support recruitment initiatives aimed at “comprehensive excellence” and programs that promote career advancements for racial minorities.
One of the grant explanations explicitly calls for the recruitment of 12 scientists from “underrepresented groups,” but other grant explanations include in addition to their recruitment and employment goals. “The Mount Sinai Health System Task Force includes plans to address the roadmap of racism. Changing with key strategies as the basis for Icahn Medical School in Mount Sinai. Roadmap for comprehensive excellence. ”
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Do No Harm Chairman Dr. Stanley Goldfarb said the NCI “must cease to halt the promotion of the politically motivated Dei agenda.”

“The National Cancer Institute is using taxpayers to promote the DEI agenda in the healthcare sector,” Goldfarb said. “They kick out $218 million each year for grants that prioritize medical “undervaluation” as defined by anyone in a racial minority group, except for Asian Americans. . The National Cancer Institute should not reward taxpayer money and racism. There is no place for racist drugs. ”

Under former President Joe Biden, the NCI website was filled with statements and sources about programs tied to Day, but Trump's presidential order demanding that federal government end Day Following on, most of it collapsed.

Fox News Digital also asked about the Equity Council, a sub-agency founded under Biden in 2021, but received no response. The Council is the steering committee for NCI's equity and comprehensive efforts.
