National US Health Institutes (NIH) It’s over Almost 800 research projects in a hard rhythm, eliminating important slots for financing full scientific funding Nature Analysis of unprecedented cuts.
Donald Trump’s U.S. President Administration began to create nih-funded studies on issues that are problematic less than 50 days ago, including research on issues that are constantly expanding Covid 19 to the misinformation. The NIH annually financed by 30,000 plus scientists had to stop their work by their research “no longer agency’s priorities”, and some have to fire or close laboratories.
To understand the extent and width of these actions, to understand that they have retreated more than $ 2.3 million to US researchers so far. Nature He made a scientist effort to follow these cuts (see ‘How’ Nature Information regarding the subsidy of NIH). Our exams project issues, the NIH institute and the most affected by the US States.

Project cancellations, although scientists managed to review the revision, “they are tears of government contract, to achieve medical studies that seek health and lifestyle for all Americans,” says Francis Collins, He has been in bethesda for 12 years, in Maryland for 12 years 3 Presidents of the US, including Trump.

Subsidy assessment
Nih is far away The world’s largest public biomedical investigationIt has a US $ 47 million budget by paying more than 60,000 grants. This size means that it is irreplaceable for the financing of the agency, says Shirley Tilghman, a molecular biologist and former president of New Jersey Princeton University.
NatureThe analysis shows so far the finished project and 29% of HIV / AIDS is focused on the end of the Covid-19 Pandemia, which has been moved from the United States. Another potential reason is disproportionately affects sex and gender minorities (LGBT +); Lak signed an executive order in his first day office January 20, aimed at the US Government, to recognize that a person’s gender is separated from their sex at birth.
NIH restrictions were the hardest nih cutters related to transgender health and LGTB + wide community, where half of the subsidies are funded in 2024 compared to NIH (refined under fire ‘).
These actions “The real but real percentage of the population is the answer to critical questions about their health,” Tilghman says. “You cannot delete the population segment according to the executive order, but you can damage it many.”
In matters based on many of the NIH research, US National Institute of Minimum Health and Health inequality – cuts have been hammers (see us most of the NIH institutes “). Five of five of five of the directors of the NIH institutes and centers have influenced these grants Last week they were placed on administrative permissionBetween Lay-offs and restructuring in HHS.
Geographical effects
Trump and his Republicans Ally said they want to “wake up” on the left, in elite universities. Grant Peace Scientific Business Are Harmfully According to the States of Trump (blue ‘(see blue’) in Trump (blue ‘) in Trump (blue’). Washington State has been in the blue state of 2024, with the greatest grant, the number of NIH funding has usually been a year, with North Carolina, being a red state in 2024.
But the administration is not giving NIH subsidies in richest universities. Scott Delaney, Scott Delaney, Boston, Massachusetts, is an epidemiologist for the Public Health School of Massachusetts. Database Nature used for his examination. Database, Delaney and its collaborator, based on the executive director of the data science profit, Berkeley, California, scientists asked them to send information about their subsidies and HHS came from a list of projects published on their website.
Biomedical research states have lost some of the largest investigative funding for Massachusetts, California, California, but because they receive so much from Nih, it has been less than other states. The state of New York is an exception. Are records of five affected states, according to NatureAnalysis because of the University of Columbia in New York City.
Trump’s team He has directed Columbia Research SubsidiesHe has decided to university $ 400 million, the administration said he could not protect Jewish students from harassment Campus protests the war of Israel in Gaza.
Unlike NIH grants related to the issues of the NIHK administration, many Columbia has been canceled grants. Nature Were searched for all NIH subsidies for the keywords with officials federal agencies has been directed to seek‘Diversity’, ‘Barrier’ and “Excellent”. NIH 89 grants had less than 4 bands of Columbia, compared to the second-termination organization, at the University of Atlanta, Georgia, lost 3 grants in this category. This indicates that the administration was focused on cutting attention to a certain amount of concerns and a certain amount of Columbia. For example, one of the incised funds has been entitled ‘Exposure to long-term arsenic, and uranium, drinking water and private water‘He investigated links between arsenic and chronic heart and kidney diseases.
Since these grants are finished, the Trump Administration threatened the same treatment at other elite universities, which includes thousands of billions of research funding. NatureThe database analysis should be prosperous thinking, “I learn this grant in fruit flies, so I’m safe,” Delaney says. “It’s not in a directed organization.”
Normalized end
In the past, the end of the subsidy has rarely been reserved only by a bad performance or fraud, the former Employee of NIHKO, he asked for fear of the retribution of anonymity. In such cases, organizations often allow the situation to solve the situation, the first personnel says.
“Let the recipients given so far, while they do a good job and do nothing stupid, they will finance five years,” they added. “Now, it’s gone.”
This uncertainty, combined with hostility to higher education organizations, is already a deep cold effect: more than 75% of respondents to an informal Nature Questionnaire of readers who are scientists said they were examining that they had gone out of the United States.
