The administration’s campaign to condition federal research funding has produced a running tracker that catalogues which universities have had funding frozen, which have settled, and the terms of those settlements. The tracker lists payments, restored grant totals, and the policy commitments institutions accepted to regain funding. The dataset shows diversity in institutional responses: some universities paid settlements and implemented policy changes; others chose litigation and so remain in legal limbo. For research officers and university lawyers, the tracker is becoming a practical reference for negotiating grant continuity and anticipating federal compliance expectations. Beyond immediate restorations, the tracker highlights a structural shift in how federal agencies may leverage funding access to press compliance with new administrative priorities—an issue likely to reshape federal‑campus relations moving forward.
