That teed up an urgent hearing on Friday in which states and associations representing those institutions urged her to consider halting the cuts more permanently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The stakes of the lawsuit were put in stark relief during one portion of Friday\u2019s hearing that focused on \u201cirreparable harm,\u201d in which the Judge Kelley asked both sides to explain whether the suspension of the funds amounted to an irreversible blow to the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/02\/13\/upshot\/nih-trump-funding-cuts.html\" title=\"\">universities and hospitals across the country<\/a> that depend on the funding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The N.I.H. has proposed cutting around $4 billion in grants it provides for \u201cindirect costs,\u201d which it has described as tangential expenditures for things like facilities and administrators, and which it said could be better spent on directly funding research. The proposal envisioned reducing funding for those indirect costs to a 15 percent rate to all institutions that receive funds, which a lawyer for the government said was in line with that of private foundations.<\/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\">But the coterie of lawyers representing the states and research institutions argued to the judge that the direct and indirect costs are often intertwined.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One lawyer asked Judge Kelley to consider a scenario of a researcher doing experiments directly funded through an N.I.H. grant, and a worker disposing of hazardous medical waste produced by all the experiments being run at that facility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt is equally important to the research that both of those people are paid to do their work,\u201d the lawyer said. \u201cThe research couldn\u2019t happen without that \u2014 nevertheless, one is classified as a direct cost, one is an indirect cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Lawyers for the plaintiffs ticked through an array of adverse effects that could result from the pause in funding.<\/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\">They asked the judge to consider the ramifications of potential layoffs of highly skilled staff members, such as veterinary technicians that oversee animal research and hospital nurses. They warned of clinical trials on new drugs being paused. They argued that many institutions would be unable to bring back employees they had lost once experiments and trials are forced to stop.<\/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\">With universities in the middle of admissions season, the lawyers described a chaotic environment in which both schools and Ph.D. applicants would need to reassess whether the projects they planned to pursue will be feasible. And they expressed fear for smaller universities with limited endowments that would not be able to fill the unanticipated gap left in their budgets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even at larger schools with hefty endowments, the promise of government funding had already influenced big investments, the plaintiff lawyers said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They pointed to a $200 million neuroscience lab at the California Institute of Technology, finished in 2020, that the university expected to pay for in part through the funding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere\u2019s going to be a hole in the research budget at Caltech, and actually a big one,\u201d a lawyer said.<\/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\">The plaintiff lawyers said that other groups not involved in the lawsuit, such associations of dental and nursing schools, had also become invested in the outcome, fearing disruptions to their own operations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Brian Lee, a lawyer representing the government on Friday, said that the broad effects mentioned at the hearing were largely speculative, part of a \u201cnonspecific aura of urgency\u201d that research institutions had drummed up without showing concrete damages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAre you willing to agree that the plaintiffs will suffer harm?\u201d Judge Kelley asked after hearing the long list of examples marshaled by the groups suing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNot irreparable,\u201d Mr. Lee replied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He said the states and associations suing the government had other means of recovering the lost funding, such as suing under the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/wex\/tucker_act\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Tucker Act<\/a>, which allows groups to sue the government in contract claims. He added that the 15 percent cap was in line with what private foundations such as the Gates Foundation often agree to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Earlier, Mr. Lee repeated the government\u2019s claim that capping \u201cindirect funds\u201d for costs like buildings, utilities and support staff at 15 percent, was simply designed to free up more money to be allocated directly to researchers.<\/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\">\u201cI want to be clear about one thing at the outset: this is not cutting down on grant funding,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is about changing the slices of the pie, which falls squarely in the executive\u2019s discretion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Lawyers suing to stop the cuts said that capping indirect funds at 15 percent across the board was arbitrary, a standard for challenging agency decisions. They argued that institutions of different sizes naturally have different needs when negotiating with the government, and forcing all to adapt to a 15 percent maximum was unreasonable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cA lot of this is driven by economies of scale, right?\u201d one of the lawyers said. \u201cThe larger the institution you have, the bigger the building you have, the more you can house multiple projects within that one building \u2014 that\u2019s going to change your ratio of direct costs or indirect costs,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/21\/us\/politics\/judge-nih-medical-research-cuts-universities.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal judge on Friday agreed to extend an order blocking the National Institutes of Health from reducing grant funding<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7841,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[2918,2916,2080,154,114,337,2915,2914,2917,1449,982,268,193,113,111],"class_list":["post-7840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-2","tag-angel-1967","tag-california-institute-of-technology","tag-colleges-and-universities","tag-decisions-and-verdicts","tag-donald-j","tag-federal-aid-us","tag-finances","tag-grants-corporate-and-foundation","tag-kelley","tag-massachusetts","tag-national-institutes-of-health","tag-research","tag-suits-and-litigation-civil","tag-trump","tag-united-states-politics-and-government"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Judge Extends Block on N.I.H.
