The Trump administration has frozen funding for most collaborations between medical researchers in the United States and abroad, with ripple effects to come for thousands of Europe-based scientists.  The NIH allocated more than $35 billion (€33.6 billion) to universities, medical schools, and other institutions in 2023. Most of that money is spent in the US, but organisations there often partner with research teams based abroad. These international partners are considered NIH sub-awardees, and are now in the new policy’s crosshairs. Going forward, Europe-based researchers can apply for direct funding from the NIH, which is rarely awarded to scientists outside the US. The agency said this will enable it to track how the money is spent more closely. This fiscal year, the NIH is directly funding only 17 Europe-based projects, down from 129 last year; 10 are based in the United Kingdom, while there are two each in France and the Netherlands, and one each in Sweden, Finland, and Austria. Do you think that Europe can standalone without United States in Medical research ?
