Biden Admin Grant Paid Activists at LGBTQ Clinics, Travel to Trans Conferences
“The Biden administration awarded nearly $160,000 to University of Cincinnati researchers in June 2024 to launch a program to train students in health-related fields to work on ‘transgender and gender expansive’ (TGGE) health.”
The Daily Caller revealed that former President Joe Biden’s administration granted $160,000 to the University of Cincinnati researchers for people to “travel to transgender medical conferences, pronoun pins and payments to activists who work at LGBTQ clinics.”
The college named the project The HIGHER Academy: Healthcare Interprofessional Gender Health, Education and Research Academy for Gender Expansive Health Research Training and Collaboration.
The Biden administration awarded nearly $160,000 to University of Cincinnati researchers in June 2024 to launch a program to train students in health-related fields to work on “transgender and gender expansive” (TGGE) health, according to the description of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant.
“Transgender/gender expansive (TGGE) individuals are understudied, underrepresented, and underreported in health research, despite facing enormous gender inequities that affect morbidity and mortality,” the description explains. “The Healthcare Interprofessional Gender Health, Education and Research (HIGHER) Academy will augment the workforce of researchers focusing on the health of TGGE individuals by creating an adaptable, reproducible, sustainable research course for interprofessional graduate students that is taught exclusively by TGGE individuals and cisgender women.”
The project started on June 11, 2024, and should end on March 31, 2025.
The HIGHER Academy accepted people “from Master’s, Doctoral, and Post-doctoral trainees (including interns, residents, and fellows) across various academic programs who are committed to advancing TGGE health research.”
Documents said the money would go to travel funds so they could attend the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) annual conference, which sometimes happens outside of the U.S.:
In 2022, the WPATH meeting was in Montreal (in 2018 it was in Buenos Aires and it is likely to be outside of North America in 2024). Hotel rooms cost $195/night. Registration was $920 and $440 for students. Therefore, $3000 will be budgeted to attend in Y2 and $200 in Y4 for a faculty member and/or a scholar or student worker.
Jane Coleman has covered WPATH many times.
It also included $600 for pronoun pins and $1,500 for custom lanyards.
The scholars would receive a $700 stipend.
A document broke down the costs:
Across four years, the program intends to spend $20,106 on instructor consultant services, $40,000 on honorariums for Community-Academic Advisory Board (CAAB) members, $31,500 on student stipends and $14,000 on food for its annual symposium, according to an annual breakdown.
Jonah Yokoyama, one of the leadership team members who documents show will be paid $38.66 per hour for work as a program consultant, is a “gender affirming care specialist” at Equitas Health University Medical Center.
It makes you wonder how much more of our tax money the Biden administration gave toward this nonsense.

What was Hunter’s cut of the $160k?
The amount surprised me. Usually Biden allocates in the 100 millions.
The NIH, our premier health care research agency, should not be funding agenda driven proposals.
Of course. The Left is pure Astroturf. Just look at the garbage that spews from their mouths: 100% talking points downloaded from the Mothership. They’re just signaling to each other because no one else is paying attention to them.
this isn’t just a drop in the bucket, more like in the ocean
Democrats fling tax money at Democrat cronies.
The horror. The horror.
Govt funded groomer training
But let’s not talk about public schools…
