Researchers at universities around the country, who rely on federal grants from the National Institutes of Health to fund their research, are concerned about the future of their projects after the Trump administration cut funding for indirect costs that help universities to operate the research labs. Researchers seeking to renew their grants have also been faced with having their grant meetings canceled, leaving them in limbo about future funding. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
