Federal Updates
The latest news and guidance on federal research funding
Federal policy changes are reshaping research.
These changes impact WSU’s currently-funded projects and new opportunities.
Quick Reference: How to Respond
Research faculty should continue to follow grant, proposal, or funding deadlines and instructions while remaining prepared to respond to changing agency requirements.
- Review the Federal Funding Memorandums and Executive Orders as well as Agency Specific Information for your funding agency.
- Pay close attention to any communications you receive from funding agencies. Be prepared to make modifications as agencies update their policies.
- If you receive communication directly from a federal sponsor regarding the status of your award, your first step should be to reach out to your research administrator and to the Office of Research Support and Operations team (orso@wsu.edu).
- Awardees must comply with stop work orders.
- Several agencies have issued directives that awardees must stop work on DEIA-related activities.
- Learn what to do if your grant is terminated.
The Office of Research will be posting updates and additional agency specific information here as it becomes available to us. If you have questions in the meantime, please reach out to the Advancement and Strategy team at or.orap.servicedesk@wsu.edu.
