Twenty-two states, including Massachusetts and California, have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over a recent decision to cap NIH payments to universities for overhead costs. The lawsuit argues that this decision, which could jeopardize billions in grants, violates existing laws and lacks sufficient justification. Critics claim that the cap could hinder critical biomedical research, leading to layoffs and the closure of laboratory facilities, endangering advancements in health and treatment options.
The administration's decision to cap NIH reimbursement rates could force scientists to shutter their lifesaving research on cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, addiction, infectious diseases, and more.
A cut this size is nothing short of catastrophic for countless Americans who depend on UC's scientific advances to save lives and improve healthcare.
