More than 20 states sue Trump administration over ‘devastating’ NIH funding cuts

The attorneys general said the cuts would be ‘devastating’ for people who rely on the institutions

Summary

A coalition of 22 states is suing the Trump administration over severe cuts to federal research grants, which universities say could cripple medical research and clinical trials.

The new policy caps overhead cost reimbursements at 15%, down from 50% or more, threatening research on diseases like cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court, argues the cuts violate the Administrative Procedure Act.

State attorneys general warn the move could undermine scientific progress and public health, calling it “reckless” and “catastrophic” for universities and medical institutions.
