A running tracker details how the Trump administration has frozen hundreds of millions in federal research awards and then offered to restore funding in exchange for institutional concessions. The tracker breaks down which campuses have lost money, which have negotiated settlements and what terms—ranging from monetary payments to new reporting requirements and DEI training—were imposed. Multiple elite institutions have now cut deals to recover research dollars, setting a precedent for conditional federal support. University counsel and grants offices must weigh the operational costs, compliance obligations, and reputational implications of negotiation.
