Education Week reported that the Trump administration disrupted or terminated more than 730 in‑progress federal education grants, collectively worth over $2 billion, as part of a broad campaign to curtail funding it deemed at odds with administration priorities. The review documents grant cancellations across multiple agencies, affecting K–12 and higher‑education initiatives and prompting organizations to scramble for replacement funding. The cuts targeted programs framed as promoting diversity, equity and inclusion or perceived as politically sensitive; some actions were later challenged in court. Grant recipients report lost staff positions, halted projects and unspent programmatic commitments. Several terminations have resulted in litigation alleging unlawful rescissions or procedural failures by federal agencies. Research offices and grant administrators should inventory at‑risk awards and prepare contingency budgets; legislators and university associations are debating oversight and remedies to stabilize research and program continuity.
