A lawsuit has been filed against the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by researchers, a public health advocacy organization, and a union due to the recent termination of over $2.4 billion in grants. These grants were allegedly supporting projects deemed "non-scientific" by the NIH, leading to job losses and disruptions in patient treatment. The case highlights concerns over scientific freedom and public health advancements amid a wave of legal actions challenging the Trump administration's prioritization of cutting diverse research initiatives. The plaintiffs seek legal recognition of NIH's actions as unlawful.
"As a result of Defendants' Directives scientific advancement will be delayed, treatments will go undiscovered, human health will be compromised, and lives will be lost."
"Plaintiffs and their members are facing the loss of jobs, staff, and income. Patients enrolled in NIH studies face abrupt cancellations of treatment with no explanation."
