Attorneys general from 22 states, including Wisconsin, have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for cutting funding for medical and public health research at universities. The lawsuit challenges the administration, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the National Institutes of Health over efforts to reduce funding for indirect costs such as lab, faculty, infrastructure, and utility costs. The states argue that cutting this funding will slow down research into treatments and cures for diseases like cancer, infectious diseases, and addiction. Governor Evers and Attorney General Kaul have both criticized the funding cuts, saying they will have a devastating impact on research and could cost jobs. The lawsuit details how universities like the University of Michigan could lose millions of dollars in funding, impacting hundreds of NIH-funded trials and putting a halt to life-saving research and technology initiatives. The states are seeking the court to declare the rate change unlawful. The lawsuit was reported by The Associated Press and responses from Governor Evers and Attorney General Kaul were provided by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
