Court rules Trump-era funding freeze illegal: Why researchers at Harvard are still waiting for payments
Federal agencies have begun notifying Harvard researchers about the reinstatement of Trump-era frozen funding following a court ruling declaring the freeze illegal. Despite this, actual payments have yet to be disbursed, particularly by the NIH, which accounts for most federal grants to Harvard. Researchers continue to wait as the Trump administration plans to appeal the decision, while Harvard’s legal victory prevents future unconstitutional funding conditions.
