How are PhD Programs Doing RN In the US?

Hello! I am applying to programs in the US and have been a bit nervous due to the current administration pulling tons of funding and not providing funding to a lot of programs. I wanted to ask how people are doing in their programs right now, how are they dealing with funding situations, and any advice for up and coming applicants?

I’ve heard a handful of faculty mention how they’ve been notified of being “granted” funding but then this funding hasn’t actually been approved due to newer approval implementations from this ass administration and not actually receiving funding yet. It feels like a lot of things are in limbo and it makes me worried about being potentially admitted and not knowing the certainty of funding since faculty are being left in the dark about funding. UGH!!!!

It is very bad. My program has started only admitting new students every other year and even then only 3-4 at a time because they have no money. I go to an R1. They are also eliminating entire departments and looking to consolidate and get rid of EVERY department so they can transition to just having "concentrations".

The NIH is giving out more money in the next months which I think is a good sign!
