US agencies like NSF, NOAA, and NIH—which fund collaborative research with Brazilian scientists—face significant budget reductions under Trump's efficiency agenda. Brazil's top research institutions warn that cuts will disrupt ongoing studies and collaborations, with health research particularly vulnerable given WHO funding withdrawal.

Shift in global research leadership and soft power; US relinquishes scientific influence and collaborative advantage; Brazil and other nations may seek alternative research partnerships with EU, China, or develop independent capacity; reduces US attractiveness for international talent and collaboration.
Similar to 1980s when Soviet Union reduced scientific investment, leading to brain drain and loss of competitive advantage; or US withdrawal from international scientific initiatives (e.g., Paris Climate Agreement era).

Brazilian consumers may face delayed medical research breakthroughs, reduced climate solutions, and higher long-term costs for scientific development as domestic institutions lose access to world-leading US research infrastructure and funding partnerships.
Brazil may need to increase domestic R&D funding, strengthen alternative international partnerships (EU, China), negotiate bilateral research agreements, or develop independent research capacity to offset lost US collaboration and maintain scientific competitiveness.
