• A White Coat Waste (WCW) investigation has exposed how the Department of Defense (DOD) is still funding multimillion-dollar, Biden-era grants that paid for disturbing experiments in which parts of aborted human fetuses are implanted into lab animals.
• Earlier this month, in immediate response to another WCW investigation, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that it would not renew millions in grants that funded fetal tissue experiments on animals.
• A key Congressional committee recently voted to defund these experiments in the NIH’s 2026 spending bill, but has not yet done the same for the DOD.
• Since 2019, WCW has uncovered taxpayer-funded experiments that have implanted scalps, fingers, skin, organs, and other body parts from aborted human fetuses into lab animals.

UPDATE (10/8/25): Hours after WCW’s new investigation broke, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed to journalist Laura Loomer that the agency is now investigating the grants we exposed:

BREAKING:

Secretary of War @PeteHegseth has seen my report documenting the new @WhiteCoatWaste investigation below regarding shocking animal abuse experiments authorized by @JoeBiden that are still happening at the Department of War.

ORIGINAL POST (10/8/25)

Since 2019, White Coat Waste has led a campaign that has united coalition partners and Congress to expose and end taxpayer funding for grotesque experiments in which parts of aborted human fetuses are implanted into lab animals.

Earlier this year, WCW even delivered explosive testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability on this subject.

WCW exposed a taxpayer-funded experiment that implanted human fetal intestines onto the intestines of live mice.

Earlier this month, less than a day after a new WCW investigation exposed active Biden-era NIH funding for human fetal tissue experiments on animals, the agency responded and confirmed, “The referenced grants, initiated under the Biden administration, will not be renewed.” All but one of the NIH’s 17 human fetal tissue grants were funding experiments on animals.

Now, we’ve uncovered how millions in Biden-era Department of Defense grants have also been wasted on horrific human fetal tissue experiments with monkeys and mice—and that some of that funding is still active.

Several of these DOD-funded human fetal tissue experiments created so-called “BLT mice:” animals implanted with pieces of bone marrow, thymus, and liver from aborted human fetuses.

Recent and active DOD grants to the University of Texas, Wistar Institute, University of California-Los Angeles, Rutgers University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison were wasted on fetal tissue experiments on animals.

The DOD budgets for some of these experiments are scheduled to run until August 2026, and could be renewed and re-funded if Congress and the Pentagon don’t take action.

WCW exposed how taxpayer-funded experimenters implanted fingers from 18-week-old human fetuses into the backs of 5-day-old mice. Four weeks after implantation, the taxpayer-funded lab broke the fingers and left them, fractured, on the baby mice for another two weeks.

Is this how you want your money spent?

A taxpayer-funded lab harvested scalps from aborted human fetuses and transplanted them onto mice and rats.

Defunding these disturbing animal experiments is one of WCW’s top priorities for the Trump Administration—it should be low-hanging fruit since they’ve done it before.

The solution is simple:
