August 22 Federal Research Update

Dear Colleagues,

You may have seen that the Supreme Court delivered a complex ruling yesterday regarding the Trump administration’s appeal of the MA District Court judge’s ruling regarding its Executive Order-driven termination of NIH awards (see here).

We are working to fully understand its implications for UCSF and will be in touch with updates as we learn more.

It is deeply distressing that UCSF research awards (and research awards more broadly) are once again at risk. I assure you that UCSF leaders will work to implement support for impacted researchers should that become necessary.

I remain grateful for our research community and all who are navigating this uncharted landscape. Please stay tuned and reach me at [email protected].

Sincerely, 
Hal
