Biden-nominated federal judge extends hold on Trump NIH research funding cuts
Fox News
Biden-appointed federal Judge Angel Kelley blocks the National Institutes of Health from applying a standard indirect cost rate of 15% across the board on grants.
"The United States should have the best medical research in the world. It is accordingly vital to ensure that as many funds as possible go towards direct scientific research costs rather than administrative overhead. NIH is accordingly imposing a standard indirect cost rate on all grants of 15% pursuant to its 45 C.F.R. 75.414(c) authority," the NIH explained in a notice last month. Alex Nitzberg is a writer for Fox News Digital.
But the agency has been blocked from implementing the policy as challenges play out in court.
