Young scientists face career challenges from funding cuts

thestar.com

Young scientists are facing career challenges as federal funding cuts impact research programs. The National Institutes of Health has suspended training programs, affecting opportunities for graduate students like Connor Phillips, who is now seeking alternatives. Universities are reducing graduate admissions and freezing hiring due to uncertainty over federal funding. Some programs have cut admissions in half, leaving students like Mira Polishook in limbo as they await decisions on funding from agencies like the National Science Foundation. As funding for U.S. research declines, some students are considering opportunities abroad. Marleigh Hutchinson plans to work internationally after her USAID-funded lab lost support, highlighting concerns about the long-term impact on U.S. scientific collaboration and diplomacy.
