Boston Children's faces $100 million NIH funding loss

wcvb.com

Boston Children's Hospital reports it will lose over $100 million in federal funding due to cuts to the National Institutes of Health. The hospital has already seen reductions in contracts with the CDC and FDA for flu vaccine monitoring. A federal judge has temporarily blocked these funding cuts while lawsuits are ongoing. However, the situation has created uncertainty and anxiety among the hospital's research staff. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey expressed concern for patients affected by halted clinical trials. She criticized congressional Republicans for Medicaid cuts, noting that nearly half of the hospital's patients rely on Medicaid.
