National Institutes of Health grant terminations have hit some states dramatically harder than others, with just three accounting for more than two-thirds of all rescinded funding this year, according to a June 17 report from Grant Watch.
Since March, more than $3.2 billion in NIH funding has been withdrawn from research institutions nationwide. This figure excludes any reinstated grants.
Massachusetts, New York and North Carolina absorbed more than 68% of these cuts, driven by significant funding losses at prominent research institutions such as Boston-based Harvard Medical School and Columbia University Health Sciences in New York City.
Grant Watch is a volunteer-led project that tracks terminated scientific research grants — specifically from the NIH and the National Science Foundation — under the Trump administration in 2025. The project compiles data from federal sources, self-reporting from researchers, news reports and social media.
