The AAMC issued the following statement regarding a 5-4 decision from the Supreme Court of the United States that allows the termination of hundreds of NIH grants by granting in part an application by the government to stay a district court's ruling. The AAMC and other associations filed an amicus brief opposing this stay.
“Make no mistake: This was a decision critical to the future of the nation, and the Supreme Court made the wrong choice. History will look upon these mass National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grant terminations with shame. The Court has turned a blind eye to this grievous attack on science and medicine, and we call upon Congress to take action to restore the rule of law at NIH.”
