The Trump administration's substantial cuts to NIH funding are severely impacting scientific research across the United States, hurting projects related to HIV, equity studies, and rural health. An analysis shows that nearly 40% of organizations facing grant terminations are located in states that supported Trump. Not only Ivy League institutions are affected; public universities in various states are also struggling. Researchers highlight the detrimental effects of these cuts, particularly on marginalized groups whose health outcomes are being neglected, reflecting broader conservative policies aimed at diminishing research on equity and inclusion issues.
The Trump administrationâs sweeping NIH funding cuts are inflicting pain almost universally across the U.S., disrupting critical scientific advancements in various health sectors.
The terminations are sparing no part of the country, politically or geographically, impacting organizations in states that supported President Trump.
Affected researchers criticize the administration for undermining efforts to improve health outcomes for marginalized populations, indicating that diseases do not affect all Americans equally.
These funding cuts reflect a broader agenda outlined in Project 2025âs 'Mandate for Leadership', aiming to eliminate research on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
