Federal Judge Blocks Trump Cuts to Science Funding
Reading
A judge has stopped cuts to science money. This money comes from the National Science Foundation. Donald Trump's group wanted to cut the money a lot.
The judge said no to the change on Friday. Universities could have lost lots of money. The money helps with important work like computers and technology.
The judge said the change was not good. It was not right according to the law. The NSF announced this change in May earlier this year.
The problem is about 'indirect' costs. These are for things like buildings and computers. The NSF pays for these costs for each project right now.
The Trump group called these costs 'overhead'. They wanted to pay only 15% of the money. Other judges have stopped similar changes before for other programs too.
