Cuts, Delays and Uncertainty: The New Reality for UNC Research
Since early 2025, federal agencies have shifted their research priorities, cutting or freezing grants that many UNC researchers depend on. Those changes have forced researchers across campus to adjust their projects, rewrite proposals and search for new funding.
Professor of Nutrition at the Gillings School of Public Health Alice Ammerman describes how the shake-up has disrupted her community-based research. Senior Associate Vice Chancellor for Research Andy Johns explains how these federal shifts are reshaping UNC's research enterprise and how the University is responding.
111 grants were terminated, leading to $38 million of lost funding as of Sept. 2, 2025.
Alice Ammerman was interviewed Sept. 3. Andy Johns was interviewed Sept. 2.
