A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration from diverting funds from a multibillion-dollar disaster prevention grant program designed to protect communities against natural disasters. The judge's ruling prevents the reallocation of approximately $4 billion intended for disaster mitigation infrastructure. Separately, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that the Trump administration violated the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 by delaying and canceling billions of dollars in National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants. This action has stalled critical research, including studies on cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and rare diseases, some of which involve international collaborations. Lawmakers and watchdogs have criticized the administration for illegally freezing NIH funding, emphasizing the impact on vulnerable populations and scientific progress. Meanwhile, policy discussions continue on reducing regulatory barriers for developing treatments for rare and heterogeneous diseases.
