Federal judge orders reinstatement of AAP funding that supports child health programs
A federal court has ordered the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to restore nearly $12 million in AAP grants while the Academy’s case against the government proceeds.
The AAP argued the funding cuts violate the First Amendment, and the actions were retaliatory against the organization for speaking out against the administration’s actions that have threatened children’s health. The AAP has a separate lawsuit against HHS over federal vaccine policy and advisers.
