US EditionTrump administration cut autism-related research by 26% so far in 2025
- U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell strongly criticized the Trump Administration in 2025 for unexpectedly withdrawing $44 million in funding that had been allocated to the Birmingham Biotechnology Hub in Alabama.
- This cancellation followed the Biden Administration’s 2023 designation of Birmingham as a Regional Innovation Hub, but the Trump Administration forced the Southern Research Institute to recompete under new guidelines.
- The initiative, spearheaded by Southern Research Institute in collaboration with a partner institution based in Birmingham, Alabama, focuses on leveraging artificial intelligence in biotechnology to accelerate drug development and enhance health outcomes.
- Sewell and others called the cancellation “outrageous” and stated it reversed years of planning and advocacy, with the investment supporting diverse genomic research and clinical trials.
- The cancellation risks slowing health innovation and economic growth, with local leaders urging a reversal to preserve Birmingham’s role in biotechnology and job creation.
