Federal Court Blocks Trump Administration's Medical Research Funding Cuts Nationwide

News summary

A coalition of 22 state attorneys general successfully secured a preliminary injunction to prevent the Trump administration's proposed cuts to National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, which would have capped indirect cost reimbursements at 15%. These cuts, aimed at saving $4 billion annually, threatened to severely impact medical research across the United States, including potential breakthroughs in cancer, neurological disorders, and PTSD treatments. The proposed policy would have jeopardized jobs and critical research at universities and hospitals, which rely on NIH grants for their operations. The injunction, issued by U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley, temporarily halts the cuts while legal proceedings continue, protecting essential funds that support infrastructure and administrative costs crucial for research. This decision was a relief to many researchers and institutions who feared devastating consequences, including halted clinical trials and loss of life-saving treatments. The legal action underscores the importance of maintaining robust support for medical research to ensure continued advancements in public health.
