Dear UC Irvine Research Community:
Sponsored Projects is closely monitoring the orders and injunctions issued last week and this week regarding terminated federal awards. We are actively engaged in communication with UC Legal and the Office of the President to fully understand the implications of these orders and injunctions on our research projects.
Sponsored Projects will reach out directly to the Principal Investigators of terminated projects as soon as we have more concrete information about the direct impact on their specific award(s).
In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at warnerj@uci.edu.
For your reference, here are several news articles that provide more context on the recent orders and injunctions:
