The Globe and Mail reports that Canadian research organizations such as CIHR are investigating the impact of the loss of US funding on several Canadian-led research projects. The Globe highlights how the US National Institutes of Health recently pulled funding from a project led by the University of British Columbia, while the Canadian Cancer Trials Group was directed to remove gender-inclusive language from its trials. CIHR and the Canada Research Coordinating Committee have each launched initiatives to examine the situation and better understand the impact that US funding changes are having on Canadian research. University of Toronto Assistant Professor Jennifer Bell urged the federal government to secure a financial pathway so that Canadian researchers can be independent from the US and its ideology.
