Resolution Criteria

This market resolves YES if the Trump administration freezes, suspends, or otherwise halts National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants to Princeton University at any point during the 2025 calendar year. It resolves NO if no such action occurs during 2025.

Background

The Trump administration has taken actions against Princeton University, suspending several dozen research grants issued by federal agencies including the Department of Energy, NASA, and the Defense Department. These suspensions are reportedly related to an ongoing investigation into antisemitism on campus. While specific NIH grants to Princeton have not been explicitly mentioned in current reports, the Trump administration has been reviewing and suspending federal grants across various institutions.

Sorry for never responding to you all -- I made this and then forgot about it (I'm not active on here). In retrospect, it was ambiguous between the interpretations you all mentioned. But as literally stated, some NIH grants to Princeton did get cancelled by Trump, so I resolved it YES. I will try to be clearer next time!

bought Ṁ50 NO

The question seems to create confusion between Princeton being specifically targeted (per the description, for example, over "antisemitism") versus grants being targeted for non-Princeton-specific witch-hunts (e.g. the comment below with "gender", "diversity").

Is the market creator's intent that this be a general rule freezing grants to Princeton-affiliated researchers in particular?

@nonnihil I would be surprised if the market had additional criteria not specified in the market description or title

How many grants need to be halted for the question to resolve to YES? As far as I know, numerous research grants, across multiple universities, have been terminated supposedly based on their wording alone.
