The National Institutes of Health (NIH) moved in February, to Terminate Grants that do Not Align with Trump’s (R) Priorities, including those related to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Programs.
The Supreme Court is Allowing the Trump Administration to Cut-Off Health Research Grants, it contends Advance DEI Efforts or Promote “Gender Ideology Extremism.”
By a 5-4 Vote, the Justices lifted an Oorder a Federal Court Judge in Boston, issued forcing the NIH to Restore Funding for more than 1,700 Grants focused on Heart Disease, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s Disease, Alcohol and Substance Abuse, and Mental Health issues.
Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s liberals in dissent from the court’s decision to permit the funding halt.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett appeared to be the Swing Vote on the Ruling. While Barrett Voted to let the Administration the Grant Funding, She sided with Roberts and the Liberals to form aMmajority, that Left-in-Place the Lower jJdge’s Order Voiding several NIH Policies, aimed at Enforcing Trump’s Anti-DEI Edicts.
Since the Ruling leaves the Grant Recipients without Federal Funds for now, the Trump Administration seems certain to Claim it as yet another in a flurry of Wins, in Emergency Appeals it has Filed with the Supreme Court.
