From what I’ve seen, NIH funding has been withheld across a massive number of grants. This isn’t even a “stop work order” situation: the checks just aren’t being written. It’s absolutely going to kill everything from ongoing work to trials to hiring of research assistants. It’s already affecting PhD acceptance and hiring. The money is piling up and I’ve read rumors that the plan is to try to retroactively “rescission” it by having Congress vote to throw it back into the budget pool, when they pass their big tax cut budget.
