Lots and lots of NIH grants were terminated, some of them abruptly, and a lot were steered into other more questionable avenues, but the overall spending by the NIH, including in new grants, is only down a bit.
There is at least some work being done that is still federally funded, specifically in this space of cartilage regeneration. The ARPA-H “NITRO” project is one I’ve been watching, and has been continuing even though it predates the second Trump term.
As the article you’ve linked explains, Trump keeps trying to reduce NIH spending, and failing, because even a Republican-controlled Congress won’t go along. This new agreement to shift funds from NIH to the military next year is probably going to fail, too, and now that it’s on the radar I would press Congress to prohibit that when they pass a budget or continuing resolution to fund NIH next year.

1100 --> 11 cancer grants.
Spending looks the same, but it’s being stolen.

Where are you seeing this?
This tracker shows that funding is down very slightly this year
