In the United States, the Donald Trump administration has canceled the funding of a project that has been tracking diabetic patients for 30 years. The cuts to the funding have sparked wide outrage in the scientific community.

The Donald Trump administration has been making headlines in the fields of science and technology in recent days. It has been reported that the Trump administration has canceled the funding of a project that has been tracking diabetic patients for 30 years. According to The Independent, researchers have revealed that the cuts were implemented through the National Institutes of Health, which canceled the funding of the Diabetes Prevention Program.

WHAT’S HAPPENING AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY? Scientists speculate that the funding may have been cut due to Columbia University providing funding to research institutions across the country. Recently, the Trump administration withdrew $400 million in federal funding from the university, claiming that it did not make enough effort to stop anti-Semitism on its campuses.

RADICAL CHANGES IN THE HEALTH INSTITUTION The National Institutes of Health, which distributed $35 billion in grants last year, has faced numerous cuts since Trump took office. These include layoffs of over a thousand employees and the cancellation of individual grants that included aspects of diversity, equality, and inclusivity programs that are now banned. The administration is pursuing changes that could have wider and more dangerous implications on the health of its citizens.
