NIH cuts can continue - Supreme Court - NPR

 The Supreme Court on Thursday overturned by a 5-4 decision a lower court order, deciding at least temporarily, that the National Institute of Health does not need to continue paying out approximately $783 million in research grants to projects that the institute has since-stopped funding.

But the court, in its emergency docket order, also left in place by a 5-4 order a lower court ruling that threw out NIH memos that enforced the administration's policies.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the court's conservatives save Chief Justice John Roberts who sided with the court's three liberals.
