A federal judge has permanently stopped the Trump administration from implementing limits on NIH funding for research, protecting billions in grants for universities and medical institutions. Judge Angel Kelley's ruling marks a significant moment in the wave of lawsuits against the administration. The Trump administration viewed the funding cap as a way to redirect federal dollars towards direct research costs, but critics argued this approach would undermine overall research capacity and innovation, potentially creating a $4 billion deficit for affected institutions.
The ruling by Judge Angel Kelley is a significant victory for a wide range of medical research institutions, affirming the need for sustained NIH funding.
Critics suggested that the Trump administration's reasoning behind limiting indirect costs was not genuine, warning that it could stifle innovation in medical research.
