A new analysis by the Center for American Progress finds that more than 4,000 federal research grants worth an estimated $7 billion were canceled during the first six months of the Trump administration, under a policy aimed at penalizing universities labeled “woke.” The study, drawing on data from the Treasury Department and the Department of Health and Human Services, shows the withdrawals were executed mainly by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Contrary to the administration’s stated goal of targeting elite, primarily Democratic-leaning institutions, the report concludes that universities in red and blue states suffered comparable losses. California, New York, Massachusetts, Texas and Maryland together forfeited $2.47 billion in grants, with California alone losing $294 million. On a per-student basis, South Dakota absorbed the biggest hit—about $1,752—after the Department of Agriculture terminated an $86 million climate-research grant at South Dakota State University. Texas universities saw $524 million revoked, including $109 million from the Texas A&M System and $92 million from the University of Texas System, while Massachusetts institutions relinquished $252 million, or roughly $579 per student. Nearly two-thirds of public land-grant universities and half of historically Black colleges and universities have lost at least one grant since January, the think-tank said. Scientific organizations warn that private philanthropy cannot fully replace federal funding, and that continued grant cancellations threaten faculty positions and student research opportunities nationwide. The findings add to mounting criticism from academic and industry groups who argue the cuts risk eroding the United States’ leadership in science and innovation.
