The Trump administration has halted funding for research programs that use human fetal tissue obtained from abortions and are funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)[1]. The decision was announced following a comprehensive Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) review announced in September 2018 that focused on all fetal tissue research[1]. The audit identified a program at the University of California, San Francisco that used fetal tissue, and it was decided that the university's federally funded contract would not be renewed[1]. Non-renewal of the contract means that NIH will no longer fund any research involving abortion remains[1]. An official statement from the Trump administration states that the canceled contract is evidence of the fulfillment of pro-life goals during the presidency[1]. The policy expands restrictions on the use of fetal tissue in research and has long been supported by anti-abortion groups[1].
