California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced a lawsuit against President Trump over his cuts to National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for medical research. Bonta emphasized that these cuts could undermine efforts to find cures for serious diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's. The coalition of 22 states claims that the cuts are arbitrary, violate federal law, and go against a congressional directive from Trump's first term. The NIH recently announced a 15% reduction in indirect cost reimbursements for research grants, prompting this legal action.
Let's be clear about what they are seeking to do now: They want to eviscerate funding for medical research that helps develop new cures and treatments for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's.
The United States should have the best medical research in the world. It is accordingly vital to ensure that as many funds as possible go towards direct scientific research costs rather than administrative overhead.
