Universities sue over National Science Foundation funding cuts
- Thirteen major U.S. Universities filed a lawsuit on Monday in Boston to block the Trump administration's cuts to National Science Foundation funding.
- The NSF has limited the percentage it will cover for indirect research expenses to 15%, following similar efforts by the NIH and the Department of Energy to reduce such funding that have been legally challenged and blocked.
- The Trump administration has canceled about 1,000 NSF grants and frozen billions in funding, causing layoffs and threatening research at institutions including Michigan State University.
- Citizens Research Council projects a $456 million economic loss and 2,000 job cuts from the funding freeze, with Michigan universities alone facing at least $200 million in lost grants.
- Michigan State and University of Michigan are setting aside funds to partially offset cuts, but university leaders warn difficult financial decisions will affect essential research and staff.
