- On Thursday, July 24, 2025, the Trump administration appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to allow it to cut $783 million in federal research grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) linked to diversity, equity and inclusion.
- Previously, U.S. District Judge William Young found the grant cuts illegal and vacated them. This lower court decision ordered the NIH to reinstate the grants and required the Trump administration to continue paying out the awards.
- The administration requested a stay to block the reinstatement of grants from going into effect, but this was denied on Friday, July 18, 2025, by the U.S. Court of Appeals.
