Federal Funding Updates

In January 2025, the White House began issuing executive orders, memos and agency guidance, including some impacting federally funded grants and contracts. The implications of many of these measures are unclear and will depend on how they are interpreted and applied, both by agencies and, ultimately, the courts. ORSP will post updates to this page regularly to keep people informed and help navigate the changes. The Council for Government Relations has also established a resource page with links to government documents, articles and other resources about the executive orders and changes in policies and practices affecting federally funded research. 

Proposals

• ORSP will continue to submit proposals as long as federal submission systems remain operational.
• When working on proposals, reconfirm deadlines, as they may change, and verify that funding announcements have not been revised or postponed.

Awards

• Programs may face restructuring, delays or defunding. Guidance will be shared when available.
• Any modifications, increments or extensions may be delayed while federal programs are reviewed.
