Harvard University reported it has received reinstatements for the majority of direct federal awards that the Trump administration had previously restricted. The university’s finance office confirmed restorations following a federal judge’s decision that earlier restrictions were unconstitutional; Harvard officials cautioned, however, that some uncertainty remains and researchers were advised to cap spending as administrations and courts sort out remaining awards. The funding restoration relieves immediate constraints on research projects and payrolls, but campus leaders say the episode underscores the fragility of federal grant access amid heightened political scrutiny and litigation over university‑government settlements and oversight.
