Arizona receives about $645 million in National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding per year, money that could be jeopardized by President Trump's two-week freeze of federal grant funding.
Why it matters: President Trump's executive orders effectively freezing some public health and science work has scientists, researchers and others worried about the administration's commitment to the fields and about the politicization of science, especially the looming threat of a bird flu outbreak.
- Yes, but: A federal judge temporarily halted the freeze shortly before it went into effect.
By the numbers: Arizona receives about $87,000 per resident in combined funding from the two agencies annually, the 31st most among the 50 states and District of Columbia.
- It ranks 21st in total funding.
