Freezing funding halts medical, engineering, and scientific research - Harvard Gazette

The Trump administration's suspension of over $2 billion in long-term research grants to Harvard has led to significant disruptions across numerous fields including healthcare, engineering, and space research. Researchers express concern about interrupted projects, notably a $60 million consortium aimed at studying tuberculosis immunity, which is crucial for understanding and preventing this infectious disease. The halt not only affects the ongoing studies but also jeopardizes years of collaborative efforts among top scientists, raising serious concerns about the future of public health initiatives.

The Trump administration's decision to freeze more than $2 billion in long-term research grants to Harvard has put a halt to work across a wide range of medical, engineering, and scientific fields.

This consortium was conceived of at the National Institutes of Health as their moonshot effort to move the needle on TB. The goal was to bring together the very best researchers.
