US Restores some Medical Research Grants, Says Top Trump Official
- A top official from the National Institutes of Health acknowledged on Tuesday in Washington DC that the Trump administration had significantly reduced biomedical research funding, which was considered excessive.
- These cuts followed a sweeping overhaul launched early in Trump’s second term that involved billions in funding reductions and restructuring of agencies.
- The NIH has ended 2,100 research grants valued at approximately $9.5 billion, along with contracts worth an additional $2.6 billion, impacting investigations into diseases and the health consequences of climate change.
- Bhattacharya said the NIH had already “reversed many” of the cuts and created an appeals process, expressing hope that universities would resolve paused grants.
- The administration’s continuing budget plans indicate further major NIH spending cuts, leaving the agency $27 billion after an $18 billion reduction this year.
