The attorneys general of Massachusetts and 21 other states filed the suit, arguing the Trump administration\u2019s plan to slash overhead costs \u2014 known as \u201cindirect costs\u201d \u2014 violates a 79-year-old law that governs how administrative agencies establish and administer regulations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWithout relief from N.I.H.\u2019s action, these institutions\u2019 cutting-edge work to cure and treat human disease will grind to a halt,\u201d <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/coag.gov\/app\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ECF-001-Complaint-Mass.-v.-NIH-1.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the lawsuit said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Capitol Hill, Senator Susan Collins of Maine, the chairwoman of the chamber\u2019s Appropriations Committee, strongly objected to what she called \u201cthese arbitrary cuts.\u201d Ms. Collins, a Republican, said that when she called President Trump\u2019s nominee for health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to complain, he promised to \u201cre-examine this initiative\u201d if confirmed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The filing is the latest in a string of lawsuits challenging Mr. Trump\u2019s policies. Also on Monday, a federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to \u201cimmediately restore\u201d trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans, including from the N.I.H., that had been <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/27\/us\/politics\/white-house-pauses-federal-grants.html\" title=\"\">frozen under a sweeping directive<\/a> the president issued, and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2025\/01\/29\/us\/trump-federal-freeze-funding-news\/federal-freeze-grants?smid=url-share\" title=\"\">later rescinded<\/a>, late last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Scientists, medical researchers and public health officials have felt under siege since Mr. Trump became president. In addition to freezing grant dollars and slashing overhead costs, the administration has blocked the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from publishing scientific information <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/06\/health\/cdc-bird-flu-cats-people.html\" title=\"\">on the threat of bird flu<\/a> to humans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The lawsuit filed Monday involves a change, announced Friday by the N.I.H., in the formula that the government uses to determine the share of grant dollars that can go toward overhead costs. Those expenses include lighting, heating and building maintenance, but also the upkeep of sophisticated equipment that is too expensive for any single laboratory to buy on its own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The plan would cost the University of California system hundreds of millions annually, the system\u2019s president, Dr. Michael V. Drake, said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cA cut this size is nothing short of catastrophic for countless Americans who depend on U.C.\u2019s scientific advances to save lives and improve health care,\u201d Dr. Drake said in a statement Monday. \u201cThis is not only an attack on science, but on America\u2019s health writ large. We must stand up against this harmful, misguided action.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">State officials are also concerned that the cuts could harm their economies. Massachusetts prides itself on being the \u201cmedical research capital of the country,\u201d the state attorney general, Andrea Joy Campbell, a Democrat, said <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mass.gov\/news\/ag-campbell-sues-trump-administration-for-defunding-medical-and-public-health-innovation-research\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">in announcing the suit<\/a>, adding, \u201cWe will not allow the Trump administration to unlawfully undermine our economy, hamstring our competitiveness, or play politics with our public health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The N.I.H. awarded $4.5 billion in research funds in Massachusetts in recent years, including for research on pancreatic cancer, hypertension and severe asthma. The N.I.H. also sent about $5 billion to New York. The cut is expected to cost the state about $850 million, the lawsuit said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last year, the N.I.H. said, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NIH\/status\/1888004759396958263\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">$9 billion of $35 billion<\/a> \u2014 or about 26 percent \u2014 of grant dollars it distributed went to overhead, or indirect costs. Some academic institutions devote 50 percent or more of their grant dollars to such costs. But the new policy would cap these \u201cindirect funds\u201d at 15 percent, saving $4 billion, the administration said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Slashing indirect funds was a goal of target of Project 2025, a set of right-wing policy proposals put forth by the Heritage Foundation as a blueprint for a second Trump administration. The project\u2019s report said the cuts \u201cwould help reduce federal taxpayer subsidization of leftist agendas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Administration officials and their allies cast the indirect costs as a taxpayer giveaway to elite universities whose large endowments, or outside funding from private foundations, could easily cover those costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cPresident Trump is doing away with Liberal DEI Deans\u2019 slush fund,\u201d Katie Miller, a member of the Elon Musk-led effort to slash the size of the federal government, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/katierosemiller\/status\/1888011407972561076\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">wrote Friday on social media<\/a>. \u201cThis cuts just Harvard\u2019s outrageous price gouging by ~$250M\/ year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Lawrence O. Gostin, an expert in public health law at Georgetown University, said that many smaller academic institutions, including historically Black colleges and universities, do not have extra funds to cover those costs, and would have to scale back medical research if the 15 percent cap remained intact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">An N.I.H. spokeswoman referred questions to its parent agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, which is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit. The department declined to comment, citing the pending litigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This is not the first time a Trump administration has moved to cut the funds. In 2017, during Mr. Trump\u2019s first term, a similar proposal would have reduced the overhead payments to 10 percent of the award amount, according to Monday\u2019s lawsuit. The effort faltered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Congress then acted to \u201cward off\u201d a future effort and passed a budget bill that prohibited changing the fees from the levels that had been negotiated between federal officials and each research institution, according to the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">People familiar with the negotiations said those deliberations are complex, lengthy affairs that involve costs for items like heating bills and personnel, backed by binders full of supporting records. The lawsuit claims that the administration cannot make indiscriminate changes to the action that Congress took. It also said the notice announcing the rate change violated the Administrative Procedure Act in multiple ways.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The proposed changes have been jarring to universities, which had already finalized budgets assuming that the funds would arrive. The changes were announced Friday and were to take effect Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere just isn\u2019t anywhere near that much discretionary money floating around anywhere,\u201d said Jeremy Berg, a former N.I.H. division director who oversaw general medical research. \u201cThe only thing that a university could do is do less research and start firing staff and faculty. And it would be devastating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The cuts\u2019 largest effect would hit the University of California system, which the lawsuit said gets $2 billion in N.I.H. research funds for numerous universities and cancer treatment centers. The funds have supported groundbreaking research there, including the invention of gene editing and the first radiation treatment for cancer, according to the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While lawsuits against the Trump administration have tended to be dominated by Democratic-led states, this case also has places that more recently favored Mr. Trump in the election.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They include North Carolina, which gets about $3.7 billion in N.I.H. research funding awarded to schools like Duke, the University of North Carolina and Wake Forest. Dr. Robert Lefkowitz, who is a professor of medicine at Duke and a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, said in an interview over the weekend that \u201ca lot of research will just have to stop\u201d if the cuts go through.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI can\u2019t imagine a better use of taxpayer money,\u201d he said of the funding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Michigan, a presidential swing state that Mr. Trump carried in November, also sued, citing a probable loss of $181 million in funding to the University of Michigan alone. The lawsuit said the university has 425 N.I.H.-funded trials underway focused on several diseases, \u201cincluding 161 trials aimed at saving lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The lawsuit also included the presidential battlegrounds of Arizona, Nevada and Wisconsin. The cuts, according to the lawsuit, would carve $65 million from the budget of the University of Wisconsin at Madison, which is studying adult and pediatric cancer, diabetes and degenerative neurological diseases and other conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
