US EditionUS judge blocks Defense Department from slashing federal research funding
- On June 16, several universities filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Defense Department to prevent enforcement of its new rule limiting indirect research cost payments to 15%.
- This lawsuit followed similar proposals by NIH, NSF, and the Energy Department imposing 15% caps that triggered legal challenges and court blocks.
- On June 17, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy issued a temporary restraining order preventing the Defense Department from enforcing its policy that limits reimbursements to 15%.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the policy would save up to $900 million annually, while plaintiffs argued the cap would cause immediate and irreparable harm to university research funding.
- The ongoing litigation and pending hearings, including one scheduled for July 2, highlight sustained judicial scrutiny that could determine the future of federal indirect cost reimbursement policies.
