More than 22 states sue Trump administration over ‘devastating’ funding cuts for medical research The attorneys general said the cuts would be ‘devastating’ for people who rely on the institutions.
Attorney generals from 22 states filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Monday after announcing significant cuts to grant funding for universities, medical centers, and other research institutions last week.
“This is yet another unlawful and reckless attempt by the Trump administration to undermine vital public institutions and harm the people who rely on them,” said New York Attorney General Letitia James.
“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.”.
It was filed in federal court in Boston.
