Updates from UOVC on the pause in Federal funding

January 29, 2025

Dear UOVC Subgrantees,

Many of you are likely aware of the pause on federal funding that went out in the recent memorandum from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) dated January 27, 2025, as well as the subsequent temporary block of the action issued by a federal judge put in place the following day. This order has since been rescinded and is no longer in effect (see attached). UOVC will continue its operations as usual.

While we were unable to respond to all the messages received over the past two days, we appreciate your concerns. Although we have limited information from the federal government, we understand the uncertainty this situation has caused. We will provide updates if we receive more information. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
