The United States Supreme Court has ruled in support of the Trump administration, allowing it to withdraw hundreds of millions of dollars in research funding tied to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This decision partially overturned a prior injunction imposed by a federal judge. It marked the 18th occasion during Trump's second term where the Supreme Court partially granted the government's emergency application. Earlier, NIH had announced the termination of funding programs that did not align with government policies, a move that prompted legal challenges from health organizations and attorneys general from 16 Democratic states.
