Kalamazoo County Pursuing Legal Action Against Trump Administration for Rescinding $19M Grant
- On March 21, several medical professionals and researchers filed a lawsuit against NIH and HHS challenging the nationwide cancellation of grants supporting LGBTQ+ related studies.

- The lawsuit reflects ongoing disputes over federal health policy and could restore funding or require stricter judicial review of abruptly ended grants.
