Federal Transition Updates for Researchers
In January 2025, the federal government transitioned to new leadership in the White House and in Congress. The new administration has begun to implement new federal policies, regulations and executive orders, including some with the potential to impact research operations at higher educational institutions across the country.
The CU Anschutz Medical Campus leadership, the University of Colorado's federal relations team and legal counsel are working closely to monitor the transitions and to better understand the potential impacts on our research community. The specific impacts are not yet known for many of these changes, but we are committed to updating the campus community as early and as often as possible whenever definitive changes can be communicated.
