Trump Defies Court Order, Halts Medical Research Funding
The Trump administration’s halting of NIH study section submissions to the Federal Register effectively shut down the NIH’s extramural research program, likely violating a court order. This action prevents the peer review of grant proposals, delaying billions of dollars in crucial medical research funding. The administration’s actions, which even some within the NIH struggle to comprehend, have caused widespread confusion and significant delays, potentially jeopardizing ongoing research projects. This blatant disregard for judicial mandates leaves open the possibility of further legal repercussions for those involved.
