"officials said Northwestern researchers have not received payments for National Institutes of Health grants since March, signaling that those funds have been frozen, despite no official word from the Trump administration."
I helped explain to the Chicago Tribune the enourmous and irrational damage the NIH funding freeze is causing at Northwestern. “You’re at risk of losing an entire next generation of scientists" "it’s terrifying; it’s completely senseless." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/06/07/w...

@thedailynu.bsky.social Northwestern is still supporting our research despite not receiving any $ from active and new fundable grants. Definitely unsustainable and anxieties are piling up..
Funding freeze at Northwestern from Emma Mairson at

Northwestern is keeping research moving and must be spending ~$40 M per month. Clearly not sustainable for too long.

All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

L’administration a mis à la porte un très grand nombre de scientifiques dans les agences fédérales. Celles et ceux qui restent se taisent et doivent censurer leurs travaux. Mais la mobilisation s’organise, avec une première mobilisation internationale vendredi 7 mars.
