Trump Administration Cuts Federal University Research Funding
|
9.1
Since the start of President Trump's second term in 2025, federal agencies have rescinded and restructured research funding to U.S. universities, cutting at least $3.7 billion by mid‑year and terminating hundreds of grants across NIH, NSF, HHS, DHS and DOE. The measures targeted DEI-related, climate, and certain health and social-research projects—prompting investigations, funding suspensions (e.g., UPenn's temporary $175 million loss) and new caps on indirect-cost reimbursements.
