[Faculty] Council on Government Relations Newsletter

Wed Apr 2 10:49:04 MST 2025

ALVSCE Colleagues,

As I have mentioned previously, UA is a member of the Council on Governmental Relations (COGR), which is an association of research universities, affiliated medical centers, and independent research institutes. As a member benefit, UA employees can sign up for a free news digest which collates information and links of interest to the research community. Below is today's digest as a sample. Note, for example, that today's digest contains links to informational resources on "things to know if your federal grant is terminated" and "how researchers could get their canceled NIH grants back".

At the bottom you will find sign up instructions. You will need to create an account to gain access to the portal and update your preferences so that you "agree to receive email communications from COGR".

Regards,
Jon

4/2/25:  Five things to know if your federal grant is terminated (The Transmitter, COGR Director Cindy Hope quoted) When Donald Trump began his second U.S. presidential term in January, science policy experts expected federal funding priorities to shift.
