Federal Research Funding Updates

(Website Last Updated July 23, 2025 - "Recent Updates")

Dear Colleagues,

Since January, we have witnessed unprecedented changes to the landscape of federal research funding. 

As we navigate these changes, please know that we continue to meet regularly with colleagues across the university to analyze the impact of recent federal directives on our work, to determine the appropriate responses required, and to consider long- and short-term internal actions.

Researchers should contact the Georgetown Joint Office of Research Administration (JORA@georgetown.edu) to coordinate on any steps to be taken by the University.

Read messages from university leadership below; access recent updates and agency guidance through the links at the top of the page.
