California, Massachusetts, and 14 other states have sued the Trump administration for withholding vital grant funding from public health institutions, affecting biomedical research. The lawsuit highlights how budget cuts from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have led to halted studies on critical diseases and delayed hiring in research teams. The attorneys general aim to restore these funds and ensure fair evaluations of pending applications, arguing the administration's actions threaten present and future medical advancements.
Cuts and delays to N.I.H. funding have crippled research teams in universities across the country and halted studies midstream, setting back work on diseases like cancer and diabetes.
The attorneys general are asking the courts to restore pulled grant funding and to allow pending grant applications to be evaluated and approved fairly.
