"Although we cannot absorb the entire cost of the suspended or canceled federal funds, we will mobilize financial resources to support critical research activity for a transitional period."
"We will mobilize financial resources to support critical research activity for a transitional period as we continue to work with our researchers to identify alternative funding sources."
"Even before the funding freeze, Harvard issued $750 million in bonds as a way to raise cash."
"Although other universities have turned to their own coffers, experts say that's not a sustainable way to make up the gap and fund research long term."
Harvard University has pledged $250 million of its own funds to sustain research impacted by a $2.7 billion federal funding freeze. Despite ongoing legal efforts to reverse the decision, immediate relief is unlikely. University President Alan Garber has announced a 25% pay cut for himself and faculty members are voluntarily donating 10% of their salaries to support the university's fight against federal cuts.
