U.S. paused $5B in public health grants for hours over review concerns, affecting 107 health departments.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services paused $5 billion in public health grants to states and partners, affecting 107 health departments, citing a need to review alignment with agency priorities and ensure proper fund use.
The halt, announced via internal notices and confirmed by multiple sources, disrupted ongoing programs including disease surveillance, vaccine management, and health equity initiatives.
Though the pause lasted only hours and was later reversed, it sparked concern among public health officials.
The grants, awarded in late 2022 and supporting workforce development and data modernization, are part of a broader federal review amid staffing and funding challenges.
No official explanation was released, but officials emphasized the move was not politically motivated.
