Trump administration threat to end Harvard contracts puts research at risk
May 30 (UPI) -- The Trump administration is seeking to end all contracts it has with Harvard University, a move that adds to the strain between the federal government and America's researchers. The administration announced on Tuesday that it is in the process of reviewing its contracts with Harvard in preparation for their termination. The move may cost the United States a generation of top researchers, Sarah Spreitzer, vice president and chief of staff in the American Council of Education's government relations department, told UPI. "We're going to lose grad students or post-docs that might have been educated in those federally funded labs," Spreitzer said. "The undergrads are going to lose the opportunity of working alongside those researchers and learning from their work." Harvard has contracts partnering with government departments including NASA, Veterans Affairs, the Office of the Secretary in the Department of Commerce and the Small Business Administration. Dozens of these contracts have been entered into, extended or otherwise updated since President Donald Trump took office. Harvard University did not respond to requests for comment from UPI. One of the largest contracts Harvard holds with the government is a $15 million contract from the Department of Health and Human Services. It is described in the Federal Procurement Data System as a "task order for human organ chip enabled development of radiation countermeasures." It was entered into on July 26. Another of its largest contracts is a $10.6 million contract with the National Institutes of Health for tuberculosis research. Harvard holds more than one contract with the government related to this work. "They want to do more with less," Spreitzer said of the Trump administration. "They're making decisions based on budgetary impacts but that's layered on top of some of the regulatory actions that they are taking, which is really, again, slowing down or completely stalling the scientific process." The Trump administration has cut research funding grants to several universities, many of them Ivy League schools. It has also made cuts to programs in the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, among others that offer grant opportunities to universities. Since World War II, the U.S. government has leaned on universities to expand its research capabilities, leading to innovations in health, technology, economics and other disciplines. Spreitzer, who has been an advocate for higher education for 20 years. In that time she said she has interacted with nearly every federal agency, said the partnership has advanced the interests of the government and delivered value to U.S. taxpayers. "Right now we are at this historical inflection point where the federal government is rethinking their partnership with our institutions of higher education," she said. "It's been a very profitable and very important partnership that's helped the entire United States. Whether you're talking about new drugs or medical research or the innovative products that might be spun out and have created jobs." The rethinking of the partnership between the government and universities goes beyond contracts and grants. It is also proposing a lower cap on its reimbursement to universities for indirect costs or facilities and administrative costs. These are overhead expenses that an institution has that are not related to specific projects, such as government-funded research. Prior to the current Trump administration, the National Institutes of Health reimbursed an average of 27% to 28% of direct costs to universities to help cover indirect costs. These rates were negotiated with some institutions being reimbursed at rates more than 50%. There has not been a cap on most reimbursements since Congress removed them in 1965. In February, the National Institutes of Health announced a new policy to cap these reimbursements at 15%. The American Council on Education filed a lawsuit seeking to block the proposed cap, warning that it would greatly disrupt research across the country. Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs granted a preliminary injunction against the Department of Energy from instituting a rate cap policy. The injunction succeeds a temporary restraining order Burroughs granted against the administration, shielding all institutions of higher education from rate caps. "It would have a huge impact on our institutions," Spreitzer said. "They've also made huge cuts in some of the fellowship programs. Whether it's the fellowship program for the next generation of NSF scientists or whether it's the Fulbright program -- those have all been suddenly stopped."

Trump administration waiting on Hamas response to new cease-fire plan
May 30 (UPI) -- The White House said it was awaiting a response from Hamas to a 60-day cease-fire/hostage release proposal put forward by President Donald Trump and his special envoy Steve Witkoff, after Israel "signed off" on the deal. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the development at a White House news briefing Thursday. "Special Envoy Witkoff and the president submitted a cease-fire proposal to Hamas that Israel backed and supported. Israel signed off on this proposal before it was sent to Hamas. I can also confirm that those discussions are continuing and that we hope a cease-fire in Gaza will take place so that we can return all of the hostages home," Leavitt told reporters. However, she said Hamas had yet to agree to the deal. The Times of Israel reported that the deal called for Hamas to return 28 living and deceased hostages in two phases in exchange for a 60-day cease-fire and the freeing of 1,236 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons and the bodies of a further 180. Israeli troops would also withdraw from some areas inside Gaza, with the exact details to be agreed in final "proximity negotiations" -- indirect talks -- between the sides. However, Hamas official Basem Naim said it had received an "offical response" from Israel on the proposal but that it "fails to meet any of the just and legitimate demands of our people, among them an immediate cessation of hostilities and an end to the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza. Naim said that Hamas leadership was "undertaking a thorough and responsible review of the new proposal." "This evaluation is guided by a deep sense of national responsibility and a steadfast commitment to protecting the rights and the future of the Palestinian people on this land," Naim said. In a meeting with hostage families Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he accepted the deal but was not willing to end the war before he had achieved his goal of "eliminating Hamas." The deal also has to gain the backing of his cabinet, which is dominated by ministers from the far-right parties that make up Netanyahu's coalition government. Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, leader of the ultranationalist Jewish Power party, took to social media Friday to address Netanyahu directly, saying Hamas was not serious about a deal and urging an all-out military assault to end the matter once and for all. "Mr. Prime Minister, after Hamas rejected the deal proposal again, there is no longer any excuse for anyone to continue with this shuffling in Gaza. We have already missed enough opportunities. It is time to go in with all our might, to destroy, kill and get rid of Hamas," Ben-Gvir wrote on X. Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
