Update on US Federally Funded Research
Latest news
The Office of Research Support and External Relations is closely monitoring the recent Executive Orders and memoranda from the President of the United States of America regarding US federally funded research and their potential impact on research at KI.
A memorandum from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) dated January 27, 2025, required US federal agencies to “identify and review all federal financial assistance programs and related activities in alignment with the President’s policies and requirements” and pause the distribution of funding during the review process. However, OMB rescinded the memorandum on January 29.
While pauses are common when a new administration takes office, it remains uncertain how, or if, this will impact our specific projects.
Currently, a court order has temporarily lifted the pause imposed by the executive order. For now, this means that research activities and business operations at KI should proceed as usual.
Our priority is to inform you about any developments that may affect your work. We will provide updates as soon as possible.
Visit the 2025 Administration Transition Information & Resources website for more information.
