22 states sue to block Trump cuts to NIH research payments

Attorneys General from 22 states filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration to stop cuts in medical research funding, claiming it threatens public health and research budgets.
The lawsuit challenges the National Institutes of Health's decision to cap indirect costs for research grants at 15%, which could significantly harm institutions' budgets.
Senator Ed Markey stated that the funding cuts could negatively impact families concerned about diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer.
The lawsuit seeks to block the policy, arguing it violates the Administrative Procedure Act and undermines existing contracts with research institutions.
