New lawsuit accuses Trump administration of blocking NIH grants as form of censorship

Researchers have filed a class action lawsuit against the National Institutes of Health (NIH), alleging that the Trump administration is blocking and cancelling scientific grants to censor disagreeing topics. The lawsuit claims the administration utilized a list of 235 keywords, including terms like gender and racist, to prevent funding for research ranging from climate change to health equity. The NIH currently serves as the world's largest public funder of biomedical research according to the reports.
