As the Trump administration cut billions of dollars in federal funding to scientific research<\/a>, thousands of scientists in the U.S. lost their jobs or grants \u2014 and governments and universities around the world spotted an opportunity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u201cCanada Leads\u201d program, launched in April, hopes to foster the next generation of innovators by bringing early-career biomedical researchers north of the border.<\/p>\n

Aix-Marseille University in France started the \u201cSafe Place for Science\u201d program in March \u2014 pledging to \u201cwelcome\u201d U.S.-based scientists who \u201cmay feel threatened or hindered in their research.\u201d<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s \u201cGlobal Talent Attraction Program,\u201d announced in April, promises competitive salaries and relocation packages.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn response to what is happening in the U.S.,\u201d said Anna-Maria Arabia, head of the Australian Academy of Sciences, \u201cwe see an unparalleled opportunity to attract some of the smartest minds here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since World War II, the U.S. has invested huge amounts of money<\/a> in scientific research conducted at independent universities and federal agencies. That funding helped the U.S. to become the world\u2019s leading scientific power \u2014 and has led to the invention of cell phones and the internet as well as new ways to treat cancer, heart disease and strokes, noted Holden Thorp, editor-in-chief of the journal Science.<\/p>\n

But today that system is being shaken.<\/p>\n

Since President Donald Trump took office in January, his administration has pointed to what it calls waste and inefficiency in federal science spending and made major cuts to staff levels<\/a> and grant funding<\/a> at the National Science Foundation,<\/a>the National Institutes of Health<\/a>, NASA and other agencies, as well as slashing research dollars that flow to some private universities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The White House budget proposal for next year calls to cut the NIH budget by roughly 40% and the National Science Foundation\u2019s by 55%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
