The Trump administration's proposal to slash about a third of the federal health budget threatens the future of numerous health programs and agencies. This move has raised significant alarm among top researchers from influential institutions like UCSF, UCLA, and Stanford, which rely heavily on federal funding. UCSF, being the largest public recipient of NIH funding, plays a pivotal role in advancing medical research. Notably, cuts in funding could jeopardize critical research, such as breast cancer treatment advancements, emphasizing the stakes involved as funding losses mount across California.
The Trump administration is proposing to cut roughly a third of the federal health budget, potentially eliminating dozens of programs and impacting major research institutions.
