The university said the layoffs were a last resort after its federal research portfolio fell by more than $500 million in 2025.

  • On Thursday, Johns Hopkins University laid off 110 employees, citing federal research funding losses; the cuts primarily impacted administrative functions at the Baltimore institution.
