Update on Federal Executive Orders and Research Activities

Dear Principal Investigators,


Recent federal executive orders have introduced potential changes that could impact research activities at Columbia and other institutions of higher education.

We are closely monitoring guidance and updates from federal agencies. We are also working with associations that represent us  such as the Association of American Universities, COGR, the Association of American Medical Colleges, and others, to learn as much as possible. At this point, please remain focused on the important work you are doing, including meeting any upcoming submission deadlines. 

The offices of the Executive Vice President for Research are committed to keeping you informed of any changes that may affect your work, and we will share relevant updates as they become available. 

We have created a dedicated webpage with the latest information, updates, and resources related to these executive orders: Federal Research Updates 2025. This page will be updated regularly as new developments arise. 

We will continue to be in touch with information as it becomes available. If you have additional questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our SPA office.

Thank you for your continued commitment to research at Columbia.

 

Jeannette M. Wing
Executive Vice President for Research
