Trump cancels science grants, leading to job losses

The Trump administration is canceling numerous federal science grants, impacting researchers and institutions. Johns Hopkins University plans to lay off over 2,000 staff after losing $800 million in funding, highlighting the significant job losses in the scientific community. Many researchers report abrupt terminations of their grants, particularly from the National Institutes of Health. The lack of clear communication regarding these cancellations has left scientists uncertain about future funding opportunities. Additionally, 76 funding opportunities from the NIH have been unpublished, further limiting options for researchers. The ongoing cuts may discourage individuals from pursuing careers in science and could have long-term effects on the American scientific enterprise.
