A recent survey by Nature revealed that three-quarters of American researchers are considering relocating internationally due to significant funding cuts and policy changes enacted by the Trump administration. The National Institutes of Health has terminated numerous research grants, particularly in areas deemed contrary to agency priorities. Early-career researchers, including 79% of postgraduate researchers and 75% of Ph.D. students, reported feeling the brunt of these changes, prompting uncertainty over their future in academia. In contrast, a minority still values U.S. research facilities highly enough to stay put, despite current challenges.
Three-quarters of American researchers surveyed by Nature are considering jobs abroad due to significant changes in federal science policy under President Trump's administration.

A survey found that early-career researchers are particularly affected, with 79% of postgraduate researchers and 75% of Ph.D. students contemplating relocation.
