Description
The federal research funding environment continues to evolve, bringing new policy priorities, compliance considerations, and operational challenges for colleges and universities.
In this session, we will explore how research administrators and institutional leaders can draw on their personal strengths and flexibility to navigate periods of change in the federal landscape.
Presenters will discuss key developments that have emerged during the second Trump Administration, including shifts in federal funding priorities, changes to federal funding notices, updates to permissible costs, and an increased emphasis on conducting proposed work within the United States with U.S.-based personnel. These changes have implications for how institutions plan proposals, manage awards, and support faculty throughout the research lifecycle.
Attorneys from Feldesman will join the session to provide a legal update on the evolving federal landscape, offering insights into recent policy developments, emerging compliance considerations, and potential implications for research institutions. Their perspective will help participants better understand the legal and regulatory context shaping the current environment.
The session will also explore how institutions—and the research administrators who support them—can respond thoughtfully to these developments. Through practical examples and discussion, presenters will share approaches that research offices and campus partners may consider as they adapt to changing federal expectations while continuing to support successful research programs.
