I don't think there has been a cut. Just that there have not been increases sufficient to keep up with inflation and growing research demands.
Suffice it to say that the funding levels are at (historical?) lows. Meaning that the "pay line" for my area is at something like 10%. Meaning that only 10% of the researchers in a given cycle are being funded.
I think we are seeing and will see many researchers leave research because of this.
