A federal judge in Massachusetts on Monday blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to cap what the National Institutes of Health pays universities and research organizations to cover their administrative costs.
Earlier Monday, a federal judge said that the Trump administration has been violating a court order to disburse grant funding and hinted at possible penalties. In January, the White House issued an order appearing to halt all federal grant spending. That order was rescinded amid a political backlash, and a federal court blocked a broader funding aid freeze, too. But several Democratic state attorneys general have maintained that the Trump administration has continued to withhold funds anyway. In a five-page ruling Monday, U.S. District Judge John McConnell said the administration’s ongoing pauses to federal funding violate the “plain text” of the restraining order.
