Defense official said cutting Harvard grant could cause 'grave and immediate harm to national security,' court docs show
""Ineadequate knowledge of the biological threat landscape poses grave and immediate harm to national security.""
""Harvard's effort is at a pivotal juncture in Phase 1 as they are just starting the microfluidic experiments that will give first indications of whether the program goal is achievable.""
A Department of Defense official emphasized the importance of Harvard's research on emerging biological threats, advocating against the cancellation of a critical grant for the AMPHORA program. This program aims to enhance awareness of such threats, with the official warning that inadequate understanding could severely endanger national security. Harvard has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for a funding freeze of $2.2 billion in grants, which they claim is retaliation for noncompliance with the administration's demands for reforms.
