Trump, who said last year that he had “saved” historically Black colleges, has canceled $140 million in grants to them since March.

So NIH is indeed planning to pause any research that falls under the government‘s definition of „gain of function“:
„Until this new policy is in place, research meeting the definition of dangerous gain-of-function research is to be paused“

This is called fraudulent accounting, and it’s what Trump was found criminally guilty of by a New York court.
Trump Administration may be on track to put its thumb on critical GDP data: “Doing so could potentially complicate or distort a fundamental measure of the U.S. economy’s health.” Via AP.
The Trump administration may exclude government spending from GDP, obscuring the impact of DOGE cuts
