‘Imminent threat’: University of Utah could lose $43.5M for research expenses under Trump admin cut

The reductions from the National Institutes of Health “will slow down science” on cancer and other diseases, according to the U.‘s vice president of research.

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Researcher Zhenjian Lin works in his lab at the University of Utah on Thursday, June 9, 2022, where he and other researchers found a way to produce a potential anti-cancer compound found in coral. The researcher has had some of his work funded by the National Institutes of Health, but a 2025 directive from the Trump administration could reduce how much money schools get to cover research expenses.
