Direct costs are those readily traceable to a specific project, while indirect costs are those that support multiple research projects. These indirect costs in…

The grants, due to be disbursed in May 2025, had been awarded in 2024 under the Biden Administration. NEH grants are very competitive and bestow a high level of prestige on the…

Filed Date: May 28, 2025

Closed Date: Aug. 25, 2025

This case challenges two actions by the Trump Administration’s National Science Foundation (NSF) that sixteen states argue will severely undermine the United States’ leadership in STEM.
