The deepening Trump administration budget cuts have hit Mass General Brigham, the nation’s largest hospital recipient of research grants, and other Massachusetts universities and hospitals, canceling tens of millions in funding and shutting down medical research programs in areas such as primary care, reproductive health, and pandemic preparedness.
Over the past few weeks, nearly three dozen research programs led by Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital were terminated by the National Institutes of Health and other federal agencies, according to researchers tracking the cuts.
