LinkedInTrump administration rescinds memo on freezing federal funds
Colleagues:
As you may have seen in this morning's news, the Trump administration has rescinded the memo freezing federal funds. However, the White House has stated that it has not rescinded its pause on foreign aid; diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs; and some clean energy funding. We are assessing what this means for our existing programs, contracts and grants. We are working with grantees and our funding partners to determine the scope and scale of these latest developments.
Please see a report by the Associated Press for more details on the rescission of the memo.
As I noted yesterday, this situation is extremely fluid and subject to change. UC ANR leadership and UCOP will continue to monitor the situation and provide relevant updates as they become available. We understand your frustration and appreciate your patience as we navigate these developments. Please contact me directly if you hear from granting agencies regarding specific grants or contracts impacted by these developments.
Thank you,
Brent D. Hales
Associate Vice President, Research and Cooperative Extension
