In 2025, more government data resources have been removed and are still being threatened, made inaccessible, or altered, posing a significant risk to public health research and policy. What data is at risk? At this point, everything, but especially data and information related to the current administration's priorities, such as climate change, DEIA, education, LGBTQIA+ rights, minority health, reproductive health, and so much more. To see the administration’s priorities, please visit Project 2025 Tracker.
