In The News: PBS News Hour Highlights UCLA’s Response to Federal Research Funding Suspensions

A recent PBS NewsHour story highlights the impacts that recent disruptions to federal research funding can have on campuses like UCLA, where earlier this year $584 million in research grants were suspended by the federal government. Federal research funding fuels discoveries and innovations that help strengthen the nation. 

Despite these challenges, UCLA remains committed to its academic mission and to supporting students. Opportunities for undergraduate research remain robust. UCLA’s undergraduate research centers continue to provide guidance, resources, and funding for students interested in engaging in research across disciplines. These programs are vital in ensuring that students can pursue discovery and innovation, even amid external pressures.
