Federal cuts to medical research in Wisconsin

This month, the National Institutes of Health issued a directive that would cap grant funding for overhead costs of research at 15 percent. UW-Madison stands to lose at least $62 million a year if the cuts go into effect. The first hearing in the federal lawsuit challenging the NIH directive is set for Feb. 21. We explore how Trump’s plan to cut federal funding for medical research would effect UW-Madison labs.

Former Wisconsin basketball player Alie Bisballe transfers to Michigan State

MADISON – When Alie Bisballe committed to the Wisconsin women’s basketball program during the summer of 2023, she had an scholarship on the table from Michigan State.

After the 6-foot-4 forward entered the transfer portal last month, the Spartans came calling again. This time she accepted their offer.

Bisballe announced her commitment to the Spartans May 5. The move puts her about two hours from her hometown of Lake City, Michigan.

She has two years of eligibility remaining.

Bisballe, who announced the news on Instagram, played in 36 games for Wisconsin in two seasons and averaged 1.3 points per game. She averaged one point and 0.8 rebounds per game this past season.

At Michigan State, she’ll joined another former Badger. Carter McCray, who played for UW in 2024-25, is transferring to Michigan State after one season at West Virginia.

Four Wisconsin players entered the portal last month. Rising senior Kyrah Daniels withdrew her name, but guard Breauna Ware signed with Wake Forest. Jovana Spasovski, a 6-0 wing with two years of eligibility remaining, has not announced a commitment.
