US EditionJudge Pauses Termination of LGBTQ+ Health Research Grants | News Channel 3-12
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MARYLAND, AUG 1 – The ruling preserves $800 million in NIH grants supporting LGBTQ+ health research, addressing claims of unlawful discrimination under Trump-era policies, legal advocates said.
- On Friday, US District Judge Lydia Griggsby blocked the Trump administration’s cancellation of NIH grants funding LGBTQ+ health research, issuing an oral preliminary injunction.
- The cuts followed Trump’s executive orders that led NIH, under HHS, to cancel or reduce 669 grants since the new administration took office, including at least 323 on LGBTQ+ health.
- In GLMA v. NIH, plaintiffs argued that NIH’s actions violated Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act and the equal protection clause, and the court held NIH breached these laws.
- The decision protects public health research and researchers' careers, as Griggsby issued an oral ruling and will issue a written order in the coming weeks.
- A federal court in Massachusetts also ruled that such grant cancellations violate legal protections, building on earlier decisions as the court held that these actions breach statutory requirements.
