Researchers at Harvard are facing significant funding challenges due to the Trump administration's freeze on over $2.2 billion in federal research grants. This action, following Harvard's rejection of government demands for oversight, jeopardizes valuable studies across various health issues. Veteran researchers like Karen Emmons stress the importance of grants for enabling meaningful contributions to public health. The NIH is recognized for its fair application review process, yet the current funding disruptions hinder vital scientific advancements and collaboration efforts.
"You go into science because you want to make a difference, and when you get a grant, it means you can do something to try to help people."
"The halt to funding disrupts a process that researchers say is appropriately competitive considering the stakes of their primary goal: advances in science and human health."
