Forty National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants in Ohio have been impacted by recent cuts at the federal level for an estimated loss of $16.75 million, according to a project that tracks the termination of scientific research grants under the Trump Administration (Source: Trump Science and Medical Grant Cuts Impact Ohio Universities and Children’s Hospitals, Ohio Capital Journal, September 3, 2025).
The United States Supreme Court recently allowed the NIH to terminate $783 million in grants tied to diversity initiatives.
The NIH ended hundreds of grants linked to diversity, equity, and inclusion studies earlier this year after a series of Trump executive orders.
Ohio’s affected grants, according to Grant Witness, include:
- Nine grants at Case Western Reserve University, including one that could be possibly reinstated
- Two grants at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center
- One grant at Kent State University
- Eighteen grants at The Ohio State University, including six that could be possibly reinstated and one with frozen funding
- Three grants at the Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital
- Six grants at the University of Cincinnati, including one that could be possibly reinstated
- One at the University of Toledo.
