National Institutes of Health (NIH)
New Terms and Conditions

Dear Colleagues,

This past Monday, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) introduced new terms and conditions for domestic recipients of new, renewal, supplement, or continuation awards issued on or after April 21, 2025.

Over the past several days, we have been working with colleagues on campus and across the UC system to closely review these terms and decide on an appropriate course of action. We expect to finalize our approach very soon, and I will share an update with the campus once that decision is made.

I am deeply aware of the distress these federal changes have created within our research community. Please know that we are doing all we can to minimize the negative impacts while safeguarding the long-term health and strength of our research ecosystem.

As a reminder, key updates and operational guidance are often shared through the CG-News listserv. If you are not already subscribed, you can join by sending a blank email to: cg-news+subscribe@uci.edu.

Thank you for your continued commitment to research excellence.

Sincerely,

Pramod Khargonekar, Ph.D.
Vice Chancellor for Research
Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science
