Legal Action Against NIH and HHS Over Revoked Research Grants
April 2, 2025 - 21:52
A new lawsuit has been filed against the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) by the American Public Health Association alongside several researchers. The legal action centers on the cancellation of approximately $1.1 billion in federal research grants, which the plaintiffs argue is "patently illegal."
The lawsuit targets key figures within the NIH and HHS, including prominent leaders Jay Bhattacharya, M.D., Ph.D., and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. The plaintiffs contend that the revocation of these grants not only undermines ongoing research efforts but also jeopardizes public health initiatives that rely on federal funding. They are seeking to reverse the cancellations and prevent any future disruptions to critical research projects.
This legal challenge highlights the tensions surrounding federal funding for research and the implications such actions may have on scientific advancement and public health. The outcome of this lawsuit could set a significant precedent for how research funding is managed in the future.
