Case Summary

This case challenged the termination and denial of federal grants for LGBTQ+ scientific research pursuant to various Trump Administration executive orders. On May 20, 2025, the American Association of Physicians for Human Rights and sixteen individuals researching medical issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland against the National Institute of Health (NIH) and its Director, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Serv…

This case challenged the termination and denial of federal grants for LGBTQ+ scientific research pursuant to various Trump Administration executive orders. On May 20, 2025, the American Association of Physicians for Human Rights and sixteen individuals researching medical issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland against the National Institute of Health (NIH) and its Director, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and its Secretary. Plaintiffs challenged Defendants' cancellation of over $800 million in funding dedicated to the health of LGBTQ+ Americans. They alleged that the targeted cancellation of these grants violated the Equal Protection Clause, Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Due Process Clause, the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and the separation of powers. The case was assigned to District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby.

On May 28, Plaintiffs filed a motion for a Preliminary Injunction (PI). The Court ruled on the motion on July 3, holding Plaintiffs' motion in abeyance and ordering supplemental briefing on their claims.

On August 1, the Court granted Plaintiffs' motion for a PI in part, enjoining Defendants from implementing or enforcing eight specific agency directives and any related guidance that restricts or eliminates NIH funding related to LGBTQI+ health, DEI, gender identity, or related topics. The Court found that Plaintiffs were likely to succeed on their claims that the agency directives and challenged actions violated Section 1557 of the ACA and the Equal Protection component of the Fifth Amendment.
