“A federal judge in Massachusetts issued an order this week permanently blocking the White House from limiting funding to the National Institutes of Health. District Court Judge Angel Kelley delivered the order, after previously issuing a temporary ban prohibiting President Donald Trump’s administration from limiting funding to the medical research agency. U.S. Attorneys asked Kelley to make that decision in a filing, setting the stage for an appeal to a higher court. The NIH falls under the Department of Health and Human Services and is the primary agency responsible for public health research.” (04/05/25)
