Harvard Is Asking Corporations to Fill Its Federal Funding Gap
27th June 2025
Harvard University and other top research schools are seeking corporate funders to support their science labs following sweeping cuts to government grants.
The T.H. Chan School of Public Health at Harvard, which typically gets more than 70% of its annual research dollars from the federal government, lost nearly all of the funding after the Trump administration canceled hundreds of the university’s research grants and contracts. The school expected to get more than $200 million this fiscal year.
Administrators called the losses catastrophic.
“Our endowment is only $53 billion! We’re starving over here!”
