A court battle is set to resume over the Trump administration's significant cuts to medical research funding, which have been challenged by a coalition of 22 states and various organizations. A Massachusetts judge previously issued a temporary block on these cuts, which many argue threaten patient care and scientific progress. Boston's Mayor Michelle Wu and other city leaders have voiced strong opposition, emphasizing the cuts' adverse effect on jobs and research vital for various diseases. The outcome of the legal proceedings could significantly impact the future of medical research funding and associated infrastructure.
For decades, Congress has made a clear choice to use federally-funded research to invest in cities, build a broadly-distributed infrastructure for scientific discovery, create jobs, and drive economic growth in communities across the United States.
The new National Institutes of Health policy would strip research groups of hundreds of millions of dollars to cover so-called indirect expenses of studying Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease and a host of other illnesses.
