The Trump administration plans to terminate research on child welfare programs. The termination was revealed by a publicly released spreadsheet from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Over 150 research projects, including studies on Head Start and child care policy, are under consideration for termination.
Katie Hamm, former ACF deputy assistant secretary, stated that ending these projects threatens the evidence behind key safety net programs.
Only 21 out of 177 grants were marked for continued funding in the document.
