On January 29, 2025, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rescinded OMB Memo M-25-13 (“Temporary Pause of Agency Grant, Loan, and Other Financial Assistance Programs”).
“Activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance, and other relevant agency activities that may be implicated by the executive orders . . . ” may resume. Please note, however, that the executive orders are still in effect.
The Division of Research and Economic Development (DRED) and the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) will continue to review agency guidance as it is received. We are also working on a process for identifying awards that may be considered at risk under the executive orders. Any new developments will be communicated in a future update and added to the Federal Funding Updates – 2025 webpage.
