Trump administration’s $9 billion funding review could threaten life-saving research at Harvard and Boston hospitals

The Trump administration’s $9 billion review of research funding tied to Harvard University could severely impact Boston hospitals reliant on NIH grants. In fiscal year 2024, Harvard’s affiliated hospitals received over $1.56 billion in NIH funding, more than twice the University’s total. Experts warn that potential cuts may halt life-saving research, affecting thousands of clinical trials and medical innovations. Hospital leaders and researchers are preparing for potential disruptions to critical funding sources.
