The Trump admin has canceled nearly $28 million in federal research grants that were funding animal testing, including studies overseen by major agencies like the NIH and FDA. The cuts mainly affected experiments involving animals such as dogs and monkeys and are part of a bigger shift inside federal health agencies away from traditional animal testing. Instead, the US will move toward alternatives like human-based lab models, advanced computer simulations, and newer technologies that can reduce or replace animal use. To be clear, this is not a total ban on animal research, but it is a meaningful change.
