Judge Reinstates UCLA Research Grants

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reinstate $500 million in UCLA medical research grants, halting a funding crisis. The ruling, part of a class-action lawsuit, stems from the administration's suspension of grants, deemed a violation of the Administrative Procedure Act due to unspecific termination letters. The judge's preliminary injunction covers grants from various federal agencies to all 10 UC campuses. The Trump administration argued the case was in the wrong jurisdiction and plans to file a response by September 29th. UCLA researchers, who faced potential layoffs and lab closures, expressed relief, although the long-term impact remains uncertain.
