UCLA Recovers Nearly All 500 Research Grants That Were Cut by Trump
Season 2025
Episode 474
After a judge barred the government from withdrawing funds, UCLA regained nearly all 500 suspended health and science grants. The summer freeze cut access to more than $500 million amid antisemitism accusations and a $1.2 billion settlement push. A coalition sued, and hundreds signed a letter calling the cuts misguided. The grants fund vital research and train graduate students.
