dwindling opportunity to reallocate them which will result in a substantial portion of Congress’s
appropriation going unspent" on pg 71- i encourage all with stake in matter to read the entire lawsuit.

The latest NIH grant chaos:
NIH apparently sent stop-work orders to all *97* MARC and U-RISE programs in the country.
These programs support underrepresented undergrads interested in health research careers.
MARC dates to 1977. Over 48 years, the programs have supported thousands of students.
