Summary

Trump’s administration announced a $4 billion annual cut to National Institutes of Health (NIH) research funding, targeting “indirect costs” like infrastructure and personnel.

Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.), a staunch Trump supporter, cautiously warned it could harm institutions like the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a key economic and healthcare provider.

Her mild criticism suggests she is hearing from anxious constituents or worried about the impact on her state.

The cuts could devastate rural academic health centers nationwide, and legal experts argue they may be unlawful, likely prompting lawsuits.
