Georgia universities have seen millions of dollars in federal research grants terminated or interrupted over the last year as the Trump administration has cut federal health agencies and funding, including at the National Institutes of Health. 

Emory University typically receives more NIH grants than any other university in Georgia, followed by the University of Georgia, Augusta University, Georgia Institute of Technology and others, NIH data show.

Officials at Emory said the school is tapping other funding sources to support existing and future research.
