Canadian researchers who rely on U.S. medical grants say some projects at risk even as funding resumes

Canadian researchers who rely on funding from an American agency that saw some of its operations frozen last month due to an executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump are breathing a sigh of relief after the pause was lifted Tuesday – but they’re not celebrating just yet.The move comes almost two weeks after the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was ordered to pause reviewing proposals for funding research projects, which scientists and doctors say is critical to advance health research. Last year, over $40-million of NIH funding went towards Canadian projects.York University professor Godfred Boateng, who sits on the review committee, was invited to assess applications for the NIH’s $48-billion budget this year.
