The article discusses the recent cancellation of grants to Columbia University, particularly highlighting Jeanine D'Armientoâs research in anesthesiology aimed at developing therapies for rare diseases. With substantial federal funding cuts under the Trump administration, D'Armiento emphasizes the detrimental effects of these cancellations on crucial research and patient care. The situation reflects a broader trend where universities, including several major institutions, face financial strain due to funding reallocations purportedly linked to political agendas surrounding diversity and other controversial topics, ultimately risking the U.S.'s preeminence in medical research.
The grant cancellations just mean 'the world loses the researchâmy patients lose the research,' she said.
Funding of academic medical centers is a brilliant strategic plan by the government that led to us being ... the envy of the world.
