UC Berkeley grants suspended over ‘foreign funding.’ Some researchers say they didn’t take any.
The National Science Foundation suspended nearly $21 million in UC Berkeley research grants, alleging failure to disclose foreign funding from allied countries like the UK, Australia, and Switzerland. Some researchers denied receiving the specified funding, and the action aligns with the Trump administration's broader campaign to influence research funding and ideological control over universities.
