Harvard scores $46 million in federal grants as funding freeze begins to thaw
Harvard University has received $46 million in federal research grants from the NIH after a judge struck down the Trump administration’s funding freeze. The initial disbursement, covering 200 grants, offers relief but represents only a fraction of Harvard’s research budget. While researchers welcome the funds, concerns remain over long-term federal support, budget cuts, and rising endowment tax costs.
