Colleagues,

President Boyd sent out an email earlier today confirming that the recent federal funding freeze announced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on January 27, 2025, known as OMB memorandum (M-25-13), has been rescinded

As President Boyd said in his email, we know many of you have questions about these recent events, presidential executive orders, agency stop-work orders and what it means for you, your colleagues, and UTC. We are working with the UT System Office to actively monitor the situation and determine the potential impact on operational activities on our campus.

Referring back to President Boyd’s email, unless you have been specifically contacted regarding stop-work orders related to your grant, please continue your work as usual. If you have received a stop work order, please contact the UTC Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (ORSP) and UT Associate General Counsel Yousef Hamadeh for guidance.

We will continue to communicate updates and guidance as we get them. 

Thanks!
