Federal funding changes plunge Georgia researchers into uncertainty

Since taking office in January, President Donald Trump has ordered an end to federal funding of certain research programs. Though these policies have been paused by courts, Georgia institutions have still been affected. WUGA’s Emma Auer sat down with Rebecca Grapevine, a reporter based out of Atlanta for Healthbeat, to discuss her reporting on Georgia-based research projects. Here’s their conversation from this week’s Georgia Health Report.

Emma Auer is an award-winning reporter who joined WUGA as a full-time producer in 2024. She is also a graduate student in UGA's Romance Languages Department, studying French and Spanish. She covers the breadth of Northeast Georgia stories, from Athens City Hall to Winterville farmers' markets. Emma's work has also been heard on Georgia Public Broadcasting.
