With all that money they're not going to have because grants have been halted?

Here is the thing with grants. They are highly political. Having talked at great length to a number of research professors, there is a lot of pressure on them to secure grants. The schools that employ them want to know how much grant money they are bringing in and naturally they want to make sure it increases each year. The other side of the coin comes from who is doling out the grant money. There has been a big push from the govt for environmental research, hence that's where the money is so to speak that these universities want their researchers bringing in. The result is that some legitimate research in terms of medicine and health gets shelved in favor of more environmental research because grant money isnt available. It's been reallocated to fund climate change research.
