A federal judge blocks the Trump administration from drastically cutting medical research funding.

The new National Institutes of Health policy would strip research groups of hundreds of millions of dollars to cover so-called indirect expenses of studying Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease and a host of other illnesses.

Separate lawsuits filed by a group of 22 states plus organizations representing universities, hospitals and research institutions sued to stop the cuts.
