On February 13, the University of Colorado’s Federal Relations and Counsel provided an update covering several federal matters relevant to the university community. The topics included FY26 appropriations, developments related to the Genesis Mission, a rescission of the Department of Energy’s indirect cost cap, withdrawal of an appeal in the DOW indirect cost case, cancellations of CDC grants, a pause on NASA science funds, layoffs at the National Lab of the Rockies, and the conclusion of graduate education programs at Harvard funded by DOW.
The update is intended to inform stakeholders about ongoing changes and actions at the federal level that may impact research funding and educational initiatives.
