US EditionTrump’s budget proposes steep cuts to NIH, health funding
- The Trump administration proposed major budget cuts and layoffs at the CDC in 2024, eliminating over a dozen data-gathering programs nationwide.
- These cuts aim to reduce waste after recent budget increases but have raised concerns that eliminating nonduplicative programs will hinder health monitoring.
- Programs tracking lead poisoning, youth smoking, sexual violence, job-related injuries, and abortions were terminated, disrupting local health protection and data modernization.

- Officials and historians worry these cuts will make it harder to assess U.S. Health trends, with some suggesting limited interest from the new administration in reporting problems.
