The article that Lemon Drop linked says the funding of the WHI is $10 million a year.
I think that one of the big universities with a big endowment and a particular interest in women's health should take over the $10 million basic funding of the WHI. It seems to me that this it might cause problems for the Trump administration and NIH cuts because it should get a LOT of press for taking it over. It's hard to imagine that the overall populace of the US would be in favor of saving a relatively small amount of money at the cost of women's health. Trump does respond to public pressure if it's big enough and this might be a place to start. If it's successful, it might give courage to other groups that are being decimated by the cuts.
