AG Campbell, AG Raoul, AG Nessel co-leading a coalition of 22 attorneys general have secured a nationwide injunction in Massachusetts v. NIH. The order prevents the Trump Administration, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from cutting billions of dollars in funds that support cutting-edge medical and public health research at universities and research institutions across the country, regardless of whether their states have joined the lawsuit.
“This is a major win for research institutions across the country – in both red and blue states – that rely on NIH funding to conduct innovative research, as well as for the individuals and families who depend on these medical advancements to improve and even save their lives. We will not play politics with our residents’ public health, and we do this work to protect our residents, including children, regardless of their party or demographic.”- AG Campbell
