Good morning - Please find attached a memo from the Acting Director of the Office of Management and Budget directing all federal agencies to identify and review all federal financial assistance programs and grants to ensure compliance with recent executive orders including "Protecting the American People Against Invasion (Jan. 20 , 2025)", "Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid (Jan. 20, 2025) ", "Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements" (Jan. 20, 2025), "Unleashing American Energy" (Jan. 20, 2025), "Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing" (Jan. 20, 2025), "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government" (Jan. 20, 2025), and "Enforcing the Hyde Amendment" (Jan. 24, 2025). The memo orders all federal agencies to temporarily pause all activities related to the obligation or disbursement of federal financial assistance, including grants and loans, as permissible under applicable law in order to implement these orders. Agencies are required to submit information to OMB about any programs or activities subject to the pause by 2/10/25 so we will keep an eye out for that.
