“It’s a hard day for our whole community,” as the statement. “Ending over $ 800 million in USAID funds now forced us to withdraw critical work here in Baltimore and internationally.”
Researchers leading some programs to precede to say cuts can lift risk of dangerous blasts. Changes also have an effect on the economy of Baltimore because the university is Maryland’s largest private employer.
About Half of Johns Hopkins‘ The fund last year from Federal Research dollarsAccording to a letter from Ron Daniels, the President of the University.
This is one of many universities around the country that puts workers or Implementation of freeze seizure While they count on the flowing cuts f in research and higher education from the Trump administration. Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania and Notre Dame University have suddenly stopped hiring faculty.

The researchers of Johns Hopkins said they fear USAID cuts have a serious consequence for communities where they work.
Solomon Solomon, an epidemiologist who helps bring a HIV detection and control Indian program in almost 12,000 cases since these are the 8,000 children in HIV.
The program ended up receiving $ 50 million in USAID funds at the end of 2026, Solomon said, and used a minimum of $ 36 million.
Solomon said there is an additional HIV delivery of India, many children with HIV not receiving time care and fewer people experienced as a result of his program closure.
“There is definitely a lot of lives lost from this program from around the world stop and the end of USAID Aarddates,” says Solomon. “You can’t see it happen tomorrow or after, but these effects may be six months quitting their medicine, their immune system begins to deteriorate, they begin to get new infections.”
Solomon said to facilitate acceleration to force off the nearly 600 people, including four Hopkins personnel in the US and 14 in India, with hundreds of subcontractors in India.
Judd Walson, a contagious disease and seat of the Department of International Health at Johns Hopkins, say other programs are equally closed or decreased.
This includes a Research Program in tuberculosis and a Bangladesh clinic test designed to reduce cholera blasts and other diarrheal diseasesHe said.
“People have been enrolled in that study. We have to give up on all activities despite the ongoing work,” Walson said.
He added that cutters can put residents more dangerous for contagious diseases.
“In many ways, USAID funding provides a mechanism for us with the eyes of the land of what is happening around the world with disease,” Walon said. “We are a plane that has driven from spreading very important diseases in our country, and this decision to close all these programs have a significant result for Global Health Security.”
In Baltimore, in the meantime, economic effects can ripple. Johns Hopkins paid about $ 5 billion maryland wages in Maryland in 2022 fiscal year and directly used nearly 56,500 people in the state, according to Estimated at university. Johns Hopkins says it is responsible for over $ 15 billion in Maryland’s economic effects at the time.
Other waiting trump administration cuts can threaten Johns Hopkins. The previous month administration attempted to limit national health institutes to universities for research watches by making an indirect costcovering goods such as building goods and operations, up to 15%.
The court policy is challenged, including a case where university is a guardian. Last month, a judge was placed on the administrative plan.
In a legal filing, Johns Hopkins says it receives more than $ 1 billion funds to give from NIH in the fiscal year. Reduced payment for indirect costs can leave university in hook for approximately $ 200 million, said submission.
