The funds were slated for a project teaming up CU media and communication students with information science students to create educational social media content about artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Scholars well-versed in communication would learn more about the complicated nature of AI. Information science students would learn how to become better science communicators. And social media users would benefit from accurate, compelling information.<\/p>\n<p>That was the goal.<\/p>\n<p>But Fiesler was among the legion of academics whose research was halted last year by drastic federal funding cuts. The grant terminations stalled or stopped progress on scholarship that the Trump administration deemed out of alignment with its mission \u2014 largely, research surrounding diverse populations, misinformation and climate change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe project just died, and my assumption is the reason it got cut was the abstract had the word \u2018misinformation\u2019 in it,\u201d Fiesler said. The Trump administration focused on canceling grants across the country researching the spread of misinformation and disinformation, stating this kind of research could infringe on protected speech rights.<\/p>\n<p>In Colorado, more than $375 million in grants\u00a0from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were disrupted \u2014 either terminated and reinstated through\u00a0legal levers, or axed altogether \u2014 in the first 18 months of the Trump administration, according to the tracking project Grant Witness.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the terminated grant money has since been reinstated, and some remains tied up in court, but Colorado academics say the damage is far-reaching beyond the individual grants. When federal money dried up, some schools let researchers go. Others chose to leave, unwilling or unable to deal with the months of financial uncertainty.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The loss in funding hurt researchers\u2019 careers and stunted young scholars from entering the profession, experts say. But, in the bigger picture, the billions in rescinded research dollars across the nation blighted scientific progress and innovation for years to come, academics said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe U.S. has for a long time been a respected source of innovation in knowledge generation, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re losing,\u201d said Lynn Schofield Clark, a professor at the University of Denver who lost a $150,000 grant last year. \u201cThat\u2019s something we can\u2019t get back.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Getting \u2018DOGE\u2019d\u2019<\/h4>\n<p>More than 170 grants were disrupted in 2025 among Colorado research institutions CU Boulder, DU, Colorado State University and the Colorado School of Mines, according to those schools.<\/p>\n<p>At CU Boulder, a $1.2 million National Science Foundation grant intended to reduce racially biased beliefs through teaching human genetics in high school biology was axed. At CSU, a $6 million grant studying the growth of artificial joints to help osteoarthritis patients met its demise. At Mines, $105,000 toward increasing degree completion for underrepresented students in STEM was terminated.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>DU\u2019s Schofield Clark, a journalism and media studies professor, lost a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for her work incorporating local Chicano history into common curriculum classes at the university, so all students had the chance to learn Chicano history in general education courses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to see if we could look into resources and generate new resources and teach our students by enabling them to have direct contact with the cultural arts scene, the history scene and hear from people who had an impact on shaping this area,\u201d Schofield Clark said.<\/p>\n<p>The program, which reached about 350 DU students, kicked off in the spring semester of 2023. The grant funding allowed Schofield Clark to take DU students to local Chicano festivals, the History Colorado museum and music events, and to bring Chicano community members to campus to tell their stories directly to students.<\/p>\n<p>It was going so well that last year, Schofield Clark and two of her graduate students went to a Chicano studies academic conference to present their work. At the conference, they learned their grant funding had been \u201cDOGE\u2019D,\u201d as Schofield Clark and other researchers called the federal funding terminations.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, was one of Trump\u2019s first initiatives during his second term, initially spearheaded by Elon Musk. The initiative, which ended this month, stated its mission was \u201cmaximizing governmental efficiency and productivity.\u201d The department is responsible for mass federal layoffs and the termination of more than 15,800 federal grants across agencies totaling about $49 billion, according to the DOGE website.<\/p>\n<p>Many of those terminations targeted grants associated with marginalized populations \u2014 like researching how a new drug might affect women or how to better recruit and retain students of color in science programs.<\/p>\n<p>Schofield Clark\u2019s vision of bringing the Chicano community to DU students put a target on her back.\u00a0The professor recalled receiving a termination letter from the federal government with a \u201cvery insulting\u201d tone similar to \u201cwe are rescinding this grant and giving it to people who are more worthy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat definitely derailed things,\u201d Schofield Clark said.<\/p>\n<p>The program slowed. The university funded what it could, Schofield Clark said.<\/p>\n<p>At DU, 21 grants were terminated under the Trump administration, though all but five have been reinstated, said Corinne Lengsfeld, the university\u2019s vice provost for research and graduate education.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Lengsfeld said research expenditures at the university have decreased \u201csignificantly,\u201d about 20%, during Trump\u2019s second term, as faculty continue to face long delays in federal\u00a0grant approvals and ongoing uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of all this, we are not going to be a top, intellectually rich country soon, and that is concerning,\u201d Lengsfeld said.<\/p>\n<p>Schofield Clark\u2019s grant could now be reinstated.<\/p>\n<p>After losing in court following the agency\u2019s termination of more than 1,400 grants, the National Endowment for the Humanities started offering terminated grant recipients the option to reinstate those dollars this month.<\/p>\n<p>Schofield Clark hopes to receive the rest of her funding and continue the work. She wants to share her history curriculum with other universities so they can implement similar programs \u2014 a step she wasn\u2019t able to take after the funding loss.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=2774\">One killed in Globeville shooting, Denver police say<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While her own funding loss was frustrating, Schofield Clark noted broader implications. Within the past decade, she said, researchers have contended with the reality that so much academic scholarship has advanced through a white, Western lens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of knowledge gaps, and we need to address those because that\u2019s part of who we are as a country,\u201d Schofield Clark said. \u201cThis was a major disruption and a major slap in the face for a large population of people who have every right to have more knowledge about their history and health and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>\u2018The disruptions have been real\u2019<\/h4>\n<p>Full grant terminations have not been the only hit to academic research under the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>Rescinded grants that ultimately were reinstated through court challenges left universities in limbo long enough to either force them to lay off researchers or cause frustrated faculty to quit or go elsewhere, said Cass Moseley, CSU\u2019s vice president for research.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of faculty are trying to either pivot to slightly adjacent work that\u2019s maybe more fundable for the federal government or seeking non-federal sources, although we know non-federal funding cannot replace federal money,\u201d Moseley said.<\/p>\n<p>CSU saw nearly 70 grants disrupted since last year, totaling more than $84 million, according to university tracking. Many of those were climate-related or tied to diversity, equity, and inclusion, Moseley said.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, Moseley said there are huge delays in grant approvals and more complicated processes to apply for and receive federal funding, straining a nation that was once a thriving research enterprise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe disruptions have been real,\u201d said Massimo\u00a0Ruzzene, CU Boulder\u2019s vice chancellor of research and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Ruzzene is worried about the hit to workforce development. Young academics just starting their research careers were seeing their work halted by funding cuts before they even got started, Ruzzene said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis impacts the training of a new generation of scientists and scholars,\u201d Ruzzene said.<\/p>\n<p>Postdoctoral scholar Alice Taylor was thrilled to be hired to work on a DU project researching anti-authoritarian movements led by women and LGBTQ+ activists worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>In April of 2025, the $486,000 National Science Foundation grant that funded Taylor\u2019s position was terminated, and the emerging scholar was left scrambling to pay rent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a reason why authoritarian regimes go after universities first,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cWhat\u2019s happened with Trump and DOGE is straight from authoritarian playbooks. Universities have the potential to stand up and be leaders and defend what universities are best at: freedom of speech, having robust faculty unions, high-quality, critical education.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>A new threat<\/h4>\n<p>The Trump administration is trying to assert even more control over academic research as\u00a0the White House Office of Management and Budget proposes overhauling the Uniform Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance \u2014 a framework governing how federal agencies administer funds.<\/p>\n<p>Colorado academics, along with universities across the nation, spoke of the overhaul in cataclysmic terms, noting the proposed guidelines would politicize research and innovation in a way that would be hard to pull back.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal would authorize federal agencies to change or cut awards based on shifting presidential priorities and take away existing appeals processes, academic experts said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose terms and conditions reflect the president\u2019s agenda in some ways that are quite hard for universities,\u201d Moseley said.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2060Trump administration said the changes are intended to improve transparency, accountability and oversight for federal grants.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the American Association for Cancer Research said the \u201charmful\u201d proposal\u00a0would be \u201cextremely disruptive to the lifesaving research that the federal government funds and oversees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These overarching observations about the federal government\u2019s impact on life-saving, innovative, revolutionary academic research are what most concerned the Colorado academics who spoke to The Denver Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe loss in funding, of course, will have immediate operational impacts for students and researchers,\u201d Ruzzene said. \u201cIt will also have scientific impacts as researchers cannot do their work. It will have workforce impacts. There will be less innovation \u2014 less products, less patents, less industry partnerships. This erosion will be difficult and take a long time to rebuild. That will have an impact on our ability to be prosperous economically as a nation, to fund careers for our children, to have scientific progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we are in challenging times, we need to keep focus on what we do best, which is creating knowledge and transferring that knowledge to our students,\u201d Ruzzene said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=2773\">PHOTOS: Denver Summit FC defeat the Portland Thorns FC 2-1 at Centennial Stadium.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Get more Colorado news by signing up for our Mile High Roundup email newsletter.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Colorado, more than $375 million in grants from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were either terminated and reinstated through legal levers, or axed altogether \u2014 in the first 18 months of the Trump administration, according to Grant Witness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2777,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
