A US federal judge has intervened to halt the Trump administration's plans to impose significant cuts to research funding provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The decision, made on Wednesday, is a major victory for universities and research institutions that rely heavily on NIH grants. The move is expected to have far-reaching implications for medical research and development, with potential impacts on healthcare innovation and scientific discovery. Key areas of research, including biomedical science and public health, are likely to benefit from the ruling. The NIH is a crucial source of funding for research initiatives, and the preservation of its grants will help drive progress in these fields.
