Which means that alumni degrees will be devalued as well.
If you went to Johns Hopkins, or Yale, and they do a deal with Trump, your degree just got MUCH less valuable.
Alumni should be on the rampage right now to prevent this.

FWIW, NIH had already silently barred Harvard and four other schools from receiving funds — and agency staff were forbidden from telling applicants and grantees about it.

Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools)
Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants

#WithoutNSF funding, it's unlikely I would have structured my courses to bring so many students into my research lab for lab modules. These experiences directly contributed to some of them (and their TAs) securing jobs in pharma & biotech, as they told me.
The US needs more NSF funding, not less.

My 1st two grants were from the NSF, allowing me to train hundreds of engineering and biomed/sci undergrad and grad students in biotech & diagnostics, on top of the primary research goals. Those former students are multiplying the grants' impacts across multiple industries and academia. #WithoutNSF

Thinking of you and all my mentors & colleagues at Hopkins. Keep fighting, stay strong.

One class of NIH grants that are crucial to developing future generations of biomedical workers are
NIH training grants using the T32 mechanism.
These awards provide direct support for graduate students and/or fellows during at least part of their training periods.
