Over 74,000 clinical trial participants were impacted by NIH funding cuts affecting 383 studies on major diseases.
Over 74,000 people enrolled in clinical trials have been affected by funding cuts to the National Institutes of Health, according to a JAMA Internal Medicine report.
Between February and August 2025, 383 NIH-funded studies—many focused on cancer, heart disease, brain disorders, and infectious diseases—lost funding, disrupting research, halting participant care, and jeopardizing potential medical breakthroughs.
Some trials were canceled mid-way, leaving participants without access to treatments or monitoring, while others were never completed, risking data integrity and public trust.
The cuts, part of broader funding reductions under the Trump administration and linked to a Supreme Court decision allowing reductions in diversity initiatives, have drawn criticism from scientists who say they undermine public health and waste taxpayer resources.
Legal challenges continue over the agency’s authority to cut indirect research costs.
