The National Institutes of Health announced a new policy to cut indirect research funding.

Indirect funding covers things like equipment, buildings, maintenance, utilities and support staff.

The NIH estimates that its move could save the government and taxpayers more than $4 billion a year.

A federal judge temporarily halted the new policy following a lawsuit from 22 attorneys general.
