How Trump’s Medical Research Cuts Would Hit Colleges and Hospitals in Every State

The Trump administration's proposal to reduce NIH grant funding for indirect costs to 15% would significantly impact medical research institutions nationwide, potentially cutting $4-5 billion annually. Major research universities and hospitals could face individual losses exceeding $100 million per year, affecting their ability to maintain research infrastructure and continue current research levels. The policy change could particularly affect complex research areas like genetics and disproportionately impact institutions in states like North Carolina, Missouri, and Pennsylvania.
