Research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has decreased by over $3 billion since Trump's presidency began, leading to a 60% drop in grant support for critical biomedical research areas. By March 2024, NIH awarded only $400 million for new grants compared to $1.027 billion the previous year, along with a decrease in renewals. This funding crisis is halting clinical trials, shelving scientific projects, and threatening the future of medical advancements and training for young scientists.
Since Trump took office, NIH research funding has plummeted by over $3 billion, significantly impacting biomedical advances and clinical trials across multiple fields.
By March 2024, the NIH had awarded less than half the funding compared to the previous year, resulting in a 60% drop in grant support for vital research.
The NIH is crucial for biomedical research funding in the US, supporting over 300,000 scientists. This funding drop jeopardizes ongoing and future research efforts.
The missing grant money halts clinical trials and scientific projects, delaying advancements in treatments and technologies that could impact future generations.
