• Less than 24 hours after a new White Coat Waste (WCW) investigation exposed how the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is still funding disturbing experiments where parts of aborted human fetuses are implanted into lab animals, the agency has stated it will not renew the taxpayer-funded grants. 
• WCW identified 17 active NIH-funded human fetal tissue grants to labs in the U.S. and abroad, 16 of which funded nightmarish animal experiments. 
• The active NIH grants raked in $21,755,292 from taxpayers in 2024, and many were approved by Dr. Fauci and were being funded through 2026. 
• WCW is urging President Trump, Congress, and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to enact a government-wide ban on funding for fetal tissue experiments on animals.
• Since 2019, WCW has uncovered NIH-funded experiments that implanted scalps, fingers, skin, organs, and other body parts from aborted human fetuses into lab animals.

UPDATE (1/22/26): After a White Coat Waste investigation prompted the NIH to commit to cutting funding for fetal tissue experiments on animals in September, the NIH has officially banned funding for experiments using human fetal tissue, and the press is crediting WCW for the policy change.

White Coat Waste is winning against waste in Washington! 

Less than a day after WCW’s new investigation exposing active National Institutes of Health funding for wasteful experiments that implanted body parts from aborted human fetuses into lab animals, the NIH responded and announced, “The referenced grants, initiated under the Biden administration, will not be renewed.”

The press covered WCW’s win against wasteful spending on these nightmarish animal experiments: 

Policy makers and pro-life advocates cheered the NIH decision and credited WCW’s investigation:

Is this how you want your money spent? Defunding these disturbing animal experiments is one of WCW’s top priorities for the Trump administration.  

We’re proud of this win against wasteful animal tests and will continue to push Congress and the Administration to cut this funding for good. 

The solution is simple:
