The government illegally terminated National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants, a watchdog said on Aug. 5.

Officials with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the NIH’s parent agency, and the NIH canceled grants without going through the process provided for in a federal law called the Impoundment Control Act, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) said in a report.
