BOSTON, Jan 5 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Monday ruled U.S. President Donald Trump's administration cannot carry out steep cuts to federal grant funding provided by the National Institutes of Health to universities engaged in scientific and medical research.
A three-judge panel of the Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an injunction secured by 22 Democratic state attorneys general, medical associations and universities after determining the funding cuts NIH announced in February 2025 were unlawful.
