WASHINGTON \u2014 President Trump\u2019s 2026 budget proposes slashing the National Institutes of Health\u2019s central function, supporting research by awarding grants to universities, academic medical centers, and other institutions, by 43% compared to 2025 levels. <\/p>\n
New documents released by the agency show an $11.6 billion cut in this funding, to $15.1 billion, which would both reduce the number of new grants awarded as well as existing grants for ongoing research. At many of the agency\u2019s institutes and centers, grant applicants\u2019 odds of securing new awards would plummet.<\/p>\n
Support for the next generation of scientists would drop as well, with $655 million going to awards that support researcher training, $359 million less than in 2025. And the agency\u2019s internal research wouldn\u2019t be spared either, as the budget would set aside $3.6 billion for NIH\u2019s own work, $1.3 billion less than current levels.<\/p>\n
