Cut In NIH Funding Imperils Medical Research At University Of Illinois Chicago

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - MARCH 05: Dr. Timothy Koh works in his lab in the Department of Kinesiology and Nutrition at the University of Illinois Chicago where he and his team are studying wound healing in diabetics on March 05, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. Researchers at universities around the country, who rely on federal grants from the National Institutes of Health to fund their research, are concerned about the future of their projects after the Trump administration cut funding for indirect costs that help universities to operate the research labs. Researchers, like Koh, seeking to renew their grants, have also been faced with having their grant meetings canceled, leaving them in limbo about future funding. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
