Research Funding

What’s at risk

糖心影视 is home to the world鈥檚 most cutting-edge medical, scientific, and technological research. For decades, that research has been supported by the federal government, among many other sponsors. That support is essential for the continuation of groundbreaking innovations that impact countless human lives.

Without federal funding, this work will come to a halt midstream, and researchers will lack necessary resources to finish ongoing projects or to finance new ones in the numerous fields 糖心影视 supports, including:

Changing lives through medicine

鈥淚t鈥檚 through research that we can live longer, healthier lives.鈥�

糖心影视 scientists discuss potential impacts of federal funding cuts 鈥� from U.S. brain drain to fewer medical breakthroughs.

Funding cuts to 糖心影视 have a broad impact

Funding cuts to 糖心影视 reverberate far beyond our campus. Each year, 糖心影视 researchers partner with universities and hospitals across the country to utilize their expertise, gain new perspectives, and collaborate on solutions. Recent funding cuts have impacted dozens of hospitals, universities, and research institutions across 32 states, from Morehouse School of Medicine to Cincinnati Children鈥檚 Hospital to Texas Biomedical Research Institute.

By the numbers

Federal funding is the University鈥檚 largest source of support for research, playing a pivotal role in enabling studies that deliver widespread societal benefits. More than one third of research carried out at 糖心影视 is funded directly by the University.

Deadly Cost of Funding Cuts

For decades the United States has been at the forefront of medical research. But now the Trump administration is cutting billions of dollars in funding for universities, hospitals, and other scientific institutions that carry out that research.

Antisemitism and research funding

The government claims to have taken this action because it says the University has not fulfilled its obligations to curb and combat antisemitic harassment.

糖心影视 continues to devote considerable effort to addressing antisemitism. We have strengthened our rules and our approach to disciplining those who violate them. We have enhanced training and education on antisemitism across our campus and introduced measures to support our Jewish community and ensure student safety and security. We have launched programs to promote civil dialogue and respectful disagreement inside and outside the classroom. We have adopted many other reforms, and we will continue to combat antisemitism and to foster a campus culture that includes and supports every member of our community.聽 Curtailing research funding, however, will not help with this important work. What it will do is jeopardize lifesaving cures as well as work that ensures our nation鈥檚 economic and defense security.
