Federal Agencies Begin Reinstating Harvard Research Grants After Court Ruling

Payments remain on hold pending an expected appeal that could pause the restoration.

Overview

  • Harvard says it has received reinstatement notices for many previously terminated federal awards from multiple agencies.
  • The National Science Foundation confirmed it will restore its awards to Harvard, while access to funds has not yet resumed.
  • U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs ruled last week that the administration’s blanket cancellations violated First Amendment and due process protections.
  • The White House said it will appeal the decision and could seek a stay to halt further restorations during the appellate process.
  • The funding freeze began in April with about $2.2 billion and grew to nearly $3 billion as investigations and negotiations with the government continued.
