A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Tuesday to restore about a third of research grants to the University of California, Los Angeles by next week.

U.S. District Judge Rita Lin ruled the federal government’s funding cuts late last month violated her June preliminary injunction that ordered the return of federal funding to UCLA. The latest ruling only applies to some 300 grants frozen by the National Science Foundation between July 30 and Aug. 12. About 800 UCLA grants, totaling $584 million, were gifted by the independent agency, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Energy.
