The University of Toronto has established an emergency fund to support its researchers who face unexpected funding losses due to cuts and policy changes at US federal research agencies.
Toronto Today reports that the measures come after significant cuts to agencies like the National Institute of Health and the National Science Foundation, as President Donald Trump left dozens of U of T researchers facing sudden shortfalls.
Leah Cowen, the University’s vice-president of research and innovation and strategic initiatives, says the new fund will help ensure research continuity while researchers look for other funding sources.
