Researchers sue NIH over Trump admin keyword-based grant censorship

A class action lawsuit filed by researchers alleges the Trump administration is using a 235-keyword list to block or cancel NIH grants on topics like gender and racism, effectively censoring scientific research. The suit challenges the legality of the policy, which has halted funding for health equity and climate change research. This marks a direct legal confrontation over executive control of scientific funding, with implications for academic freedom and public health research.
