  • The National Institutes of Health's sweeping cuts of grants that fund scientific research are inflicting pain almost universally across the U.S., including in most states that backed President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

The article from CNN, published on April 25, 2025, discusses the distribution of National Institutes of Health (NIH) research funding across different states in the U.S. It highlights that states with robust research infrastructures, such as Massachusetts, California, and New York, receive a significant portion of the NIH's budget. The piece also points out disparities in funding, noting that states with fewer research institutions, often in the South and Midwest, receive considerably less. The article emphasizes the impact of this funding on local economies and public health, suggesting that increased investment in underfunded states could lead to broader scientific and health benefits nationwide. Additionally, it touches on the political and economic factors influencing NIH funding decisions and calls for a more equitable distribution to enhance overall research output and health outcomes.
