This rider was enacted in *2017* (right before the start of fiscal year 2018). Trump didn’t try again, and then Congress the next year actually boosted NIH research funding.
Yes, I get that part, but apparently the same rider is in the most recent appropriations bill— may still be in effect by CR, I’m not sure about that part.

NIH noted in early January 2025 that limitations included in the FY24 appropriations for HHS/NIH remain in effect in the FY25 CR that expires March 14. https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-25-054.html
