  Federal funding pays for everything from PhD salaries to tech equipment. For many endowment rich elite schools like Harvard and MIT, it may be time to tap billion dollar nest eggs.


The article from Forbes, published on February 3, 2025, discusses how top research universities in the U.S. are likely to withstand a potential funding freeze proposed by former President Donald Trump. Emma Whitford explains that these institutions have diversified their funding sources over the years, reducing their dependency on federal research grants. Key points include the growth in endowments, increased private donations, and partnerships with private sectors which provide alternative revenue streams. Additionally, universities have been investing in technology transfer and commercialization of research, which not only brings in funds but also aligns with national interests in innovation and economic growth. The article also notes that while a funding freeze could impact smaller or less diversified institutions, the elite universities with robust financial strategies are well-positioned to continue their research activities with minimal disruption.
