  • The freeze includes approximately $240 million in research grants from the Health and Human Services Department and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and $81 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
  • UCLA Chancellor Julio Frenk stated that the federal government is cutting hundreds of grants to the university.
