A U.S. judge on Monday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's administration's sharp cuts to federal grant funding for universities, medical centers and other research institutions.
U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley's decision was a win for Democratic attorneys general from 22 U.S. states who sued on Monday in federal court in Boston to challenge cuts adopted by the National Institutes of Health to the reimbursement rate for some costs of the research institutions.
The cuts were due to take effect on Monday.
Kelley, an appointee of Democratic former President Joe Biden, scheduled a hearing for Feb. 21 for further arguments.
