In yet another escalation of its\u00a0fight against higher education<\/a>, the Trump administration has moved to terminate hundreds of research grants at Harvard University and its medical school, imperiling dozens of research projects and potentially upending the futures of young scientists.<\/p>\n Harvard researchers\u00a0studying cancer<\/a>, infectious diseases, and other topics began receiving termination notices for tens of millions of dollars in research funding en masse Thursday from multiple federal agencies, including the\u00a0National Institutes of Health<\/a>, National Science Foundation, and the US departments of Defense and Energy, according to emails shared with the Globe.<\/p>\n \u201cThe scale of what happened is incomprehensible \u2014 a bloodbath for research and the wider community,\u201d said Brittany Charlton, associate professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and founding director of the\u00a0LGBTQ Health Center of Excellence<\/a>, whose federal funding was terminated in March. \u201cEntire labs are unraveling, and young scientists on training grants may be suddenly adrift. Work that could change lives \u2014 or save them \u2014 is being brought to a standstill.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue to STAT+ to read the full story\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
