The George Washington University is monitoring the many executive orders (EOs) and related guidance and memos issued by the federal government that may impact GW and higher education. With respect to actions that have the potential to affect ongoing research at GW specifically, the university is providing continual guidance on the Federal Research Updates 2025 webpage. 

We understand that many in our community have raised questions and concerns about recent government actions, and it is important to note that EOs or guidance may be paused or evolve depending on agency interpretation and as legal challenges advance through the judicial system.

GW will continue to follow all applicable federal and state laws while doing everything possible to protect and support our community.
