A federal judge has temporarily halted President Trump’s plan to cut research funding provided by the National Institute of Health, following a lawsuit by 22 attorneys general. Nebraska Medicine is one of the facilities that would be impacted by the proposed cuts. Researchers like Rebekah Gundry rely on this funding to conduct important studies aimed at finding new treatments for patients. Nebraska Medicine currently receives about $40 million in indirect costs that fund maintenance and renovations necessary to keep research going. Dr. Ken Bayles, who oversees research at Nebraska Medicine, expressed concern about the potential impact on future research and the lengthy process of securing funding. The judge has ordered agencies not to implement the cuts and has scheduled an in-person hearing for later this month. Gundry emphasized the importance of maintaining funding to train the next generation of scientists. The future of research funding remains uncertain, but researchers like Gundry are hopeful that the funding will be preserved.
