The Council on Governmental Relations (COGR) is actively monitoring the impact of recent executive actions by the Trump Administration on federally funded research and has developed a number of resources to assist the research community.
COGR is seeking clarity and guidance on existing research related policies and requirements, and the new directives federal agencies are following and issuing to implement the new administration’s executive orders. COGR’s committees and staff are also actively analyzing the new actions and seeking information on the implications and consequences for pending rulemaking and policy issuance. They have contacted Trump administration officials and agency officials to communicate the consequences of the executive actions and to request guidance for institutions as they seek to understand changes in policies and institutions’ compliance obligations.
New Resource Page:
COGR has developed a new resource page dedicated to providing information, analysis, government documents, and other resources about executive actions and changes in policies and practices affecting federally funded research. This page will be updated regularly as new information and resources are identified.
New COGR Summary of Executive Orders:
COGR has prepared a summary of executive orders issued to date, available for download.
We will continue to work with COGR to track the impact of the recent executive actions on USC research programs.
