Brown University will pay $50 million to Rhode Island workforce development organizations in a deal with the Trump administration that restores lost federal research funding and ends investigations into alleged discrimination,

Brown University recovered its access to more than $50 million in federal grant funding for health and life science research frozen since April by signing a deal with the federal government Wednesday.

The Trump administration has reached a multimillion-dollar agreement with Brown University to restore federal funding – its second major deal with an elite university after last week’s $221 million settlement with Columbia University.
