The Department of Homeland Security has cancelled congressionally authorized funding for research into domestic national security threats like active-shooter scenarios and the spread of dangerous diseases.
At least two of the eight universities that house DHS-funded Centers of Excellence have stopped their work, NOTUS confirmed Tuesday.
One of the centers, housed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, modeled flooding and hurricane risks. The other, housed at Arizona State University, was responsible for designing improvements to border control.
