US EditionUCLA Enters Talks to Restore $584 Million in Frozen Research Grants
- On August 6, 2025, the Trump administration halted approximately $584 million in federal research funding to UCLA, citing concerns about violations of civil rights connected to antisemitism.
- This action came after the Justice Department determined on July 29 that UCLA failed to prevent a discriminatory and hostile atmosphere for Jewish and Israeli students amid protests related to the Israel-Hamas conflict in 2024.
- Federal funding from key government research bodies was suspended for over 800 grants supporting studies in fields such as neuroscience, clean energy, and cancer, while UCLA and University of California leaders pledged to maintain communication with federal authorities.
- UC President James B. Milliken described the funding reductions as a severe setback for groundbreaking research that protects lives and strengthens national security, emphasizing that these cuts fail to tackle issues of antisemitism. He added that ongoing negotiations seek to reinstate all suspended and endangered federal funds promptly.
- The freeze risks harming medical and scientific progress at UCLA and nationwide, with the university evaluating responses while other institutions like Columbia and Brown have settled similar allegations to regain funding.
