The Trump administration's recent attacks on biomedical research have led to funding freezes, delays in grant evaluations, and significant cuts to indirect research costs, endangering U.S. public health and scientific advancement. These measures impact not only the National Institutes of Health but also other agencies like the National Science Foundation, creating a crisis in universities vital for research. This disruption threatens salaries and resources essential for training the next generation of researchers, indicating a deliberate strategy to undermine the university system.
At some point soon, we'll reach the point of no return. Some institutions are already freezing graduate admissions and suspending hiring, and we'll start to see a wave of labs closing down.
Research in the US depends heavily on federal funds-there is no fallback for most of us-so an interruption in funding means an interruption in support for all the work we do.
