  • The Trump administration unveiled new steps to target federal funding to Harvard University, announcing Monday that it is cutting off all new federal research grants. The move marked the administration's latest effort to demand political policy changes from the elite university amid a major clash over academic freedom, federal funding and campus oversight.

The Trump administration has decided to halt research grants to certain Chinese institutions, including Wuhan Institute of Virology, due to national security concerns, as reported by The New York Times on April 20, 2022. This decision follows an executive order signed by President Trump in May 2020, aimed at protecting American technology and intellectual property from foreign adversaries. The move specifically targets the Chinese military and entities believed to be involved in military-civil fusion, a strategy where civilian and military technologies are integrated. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have been instructed to review their funding to ensure compliance with this order, potentially affecting ongoing and future research collaborations.
