A coalition of attorneys general from 22 states announced Monday they are suing the Trump administration to stop steep cuts to how medical research grants are funded by the National Institutes of Health .

The move would cap the amount of funding for what are called "indirect costs," for general expenses like facilities and administration, at 15% , down from an average of around 27 to 28%.

The NIH justified the cutback as being similar to rates paid for these costs by other nonprofit foundations that subsidize medical research.
