Collins urges White House not to move forward with NIH grant proposal
The White House drafted an executive order to give President Trump greater control over billions of dollars in grants from the National Institutes of Health, as part of a broader effort targeting elite universities.

Senator Collins has urged the White House not to proceed with the proposal.
