Federal judge extends restraining order on Trump administration’s cap on NIH indirect costs
Judge Angel Kelley kept in place an order blocking the Trump administration from implementing a 15% cap on NIH indirect cost payments

BOSTON — After two hours of arguments from the Trump administration and three sets of plaintiffs, a federal judge on Friday kept in place an order blocking the Trump administration from implementing a cap on how much indirect costs the National Institutes of Health pays grant recipients.
The temporary restraining order was set to expire on Monday, and has been extended until U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley can make a final decision on whether to issue an injunction on the proposed change.
