A federal judge has ordered the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other federal agencies to temporarily restore research grants cut off from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the previous Trump administration. The preliminary injunction from U.S. District Judge Rita Lin came after a lawsuit challenged the legality of abrupt grant terminations linked to allegations of civil rights violations on campus. The ruling covers grants from NIH, Department of Defense, Department of Transportation, and other agencies, enabling hundreds of researchers to resume federally funded work. This move is a major relief for UCLA's research community and reaffirms legal protections for institutions in government grant disputes.
