This is devastating for not only Americans, but for everyone. The benefits of scientific discoveries and global collaborations will now be so much harder to achieve.

Now under Trump, the NIH says it is cutting ~$9 billion in federal research grants supporting medical research ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's diseases.

“I think it’s going to destroy research universities in the short term, and I don’t know after that." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...

Deep Cuts to Medical Research Funds Could Hobble University Budgets

Grants from the National Institutes of Health come with additional money for overhead. Proposed funding cuts would leave colleges with large budget gaps.
