Immediate Funding Cuts and Disruptions (2025)
In the first year of his second term, the Trump administration took several executive actions that directly reduced active research funding:
- 31% Funding Decrease: A US Senate Minority Staff report found that federal cancer research funding dropped by 31% from January through March 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
- $2.7 Billion NIH Cut: The federal government cut approximately $2.7 billion in National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding within the first three months of 2025.
- Grant Terminations: More than 7,800 research grants were terminated or frozen across the NIH and NSF. Specifically, hundreds of millions of dollars in cancer-related research grants and contracts were canceled.
- Clinical Trial Impact: Approximately 383 NIH-funded clinical trials, involving over 74,000 participants, were disrupted due to these funding freezes.
