Case Overview

The government appealed Judge Page Kelley's permanent injunction which prevents the government from implementing the research grant cap.


The Application

History

The government appealed Judge Kelley's injunction blocking the research grant cap policy, challenging the district court's determinations that the plaintiffs (medical colleges) met the injunction standard. The First Circuit reviews whether the lower court correctly applied the four-factor test to the facts underlying the challenged NIH grant cap.

The Conclusion

The First Circuit decided the appeal on April 9, 2025, affirming or reversing Judge Kelley's permanent injunction preventing implementation of the research grant cap.
