Summary
A coalition of 22 states is suing the Trump administration over severe cuts to federal research grants, which universities say could cripple medical research and clinical trials.
The new policy caps overhead cost reimbursements at 15%, down from 50% or more, threatening research on diseases like cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court, argues the cuts violate the Administrative Procedure Act.
State attorneys general warn the move could undermine scientific progress and public health, calling it “reckless” and “catastrophic” for universities and medical institutions.

Oh great I can copy that to my invitation list to Canada.
Wild that alabama isn’t in on the suit because this basically will bankrupt their state. They need that money for the university of alabama , which is a huge employer (#1), in the state.
Guess they just don’t care about their constituents.
When did they ever care about their constituents? If it ever appeared that way, perhaps it was only because their own interests and their constituents interests happened to align. Now they don’t.
Because they will find a way to pay that grant but god forbid you are in a blue state
Gotta be awkward for red states and their cute ::confusion::
