Harvard Medical School is cutting its research expenses by at least 20% by the end of the fiscal year, George Daley, dean of the medical school, said during his State of the School address on Wednesday.
His address comes after a federal judge sided with Harvard , restoring nearly $3 billion in federal funding to the university at the beginning of September. Since then, the federal government has begun reinstating some of the funding .
“Indeed, we are on track to winnow our overall research enterprise by at least 20%,” Daley said. “And given the dark clouds hanging over not only Harvard’s federal grant dollars, but over all of the [National Institutes of Health] NIH, reducing our research spending and focusing on our most critical research is the responsible thing to do.”
