Sixteen researchers address the ramifications of losing substantial federal grants in diverse fields, emphasizing how these losses affect public health, education, and scientific inquiry. Notably, several scholars contest the Trump administration's view that certain health prevention trainings lack value. They assert that preventing maternal and infant deaths is critical, transcending political divides. Additionally, the cancellation of a crucial education grant hinders policy insights on federal work-study programs. Collectively, the article underscores the profound implications of federal budget cuts on research advancements and societal well-being.
