As the federal administration transition unfolds, new executive orders and policy changes are shaping federal research funding, compliance requirements and other areas affecting our university community. To help navigate these changes, the university has established a “Federal Administration Transition – Guidance for Researchers” webpage, which will provide up-to-date information on how new federal directives may impact research, funding and compliance.
This webpage will serve as a central resource for faculty, researchers and staff to stay informed about key developments, including:
- Executive orders affecting federally funded research
- Changes in federal agency priorities and compliance requirements
- Guidance on hiring and award management in light of potential funding shifts
We encourage you to check the webpage regularly, as updates will be posted as soon as information becomes available. Keep in mind that federal agencies are still interpreting new policies, so there may be a delay in full implementation and university-specific guidance. We appreciate your patience as we work to provide the most accurate and timely information possible.
