Keller Rohrback is investigating the termination of federal research grants due to Executive Orders targeting subjects such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), gender identity, clean energy, and other similarly politically sensitive topics.
Research fields as diverse as cancer and infectious disease research, to clean energy and behavioral health, are experiencing sudden instability as federal priorities are being rapidly redefined. Keller Rohrback is seeking to identify federal grant recipients who have been impacted by these terminations for potential litigation at the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

Protecting researchers, institutions, and communities from unlawful federal grant cuts
Across the country, federal research grants are being abruptly terminated under new Executive Orders targeting politically sensitive topics. These terminations have disrupted critical research, stalled clinical trials, destabilized programs, and placed universities, nonprofits, health institutions, and private partners in jeopardy.
Keller Rohrback is actively investigating these grant cancellations and seeking to identify affected recipients for potential litigation before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. If your project was cut short without adequate justification or proper process, you may have legal options.
If your grant was canceled as part of a federal “review” process or a cost-efficiency initiative, you may be eligible to pursue relief.
You are not alone, and you are not without recourse
As a result of these cuts, researchers and organizations nationwide are facing unprecedented challenges:
• Suddenly halted funding for ongoing research
• Disrupted clinical trials and patient care
• Loss of staff, resources, and long-term data integrity
• Pressure to seek emergency philanthropic or crowdsourced funding
• Confusion over appeal options and inconsistent agency guidance
• Deep uncertainty about the future of multi-year projects
Why these terminations matter
Executive Orders directing agencies to “review,” “modify,” or “terminate” grants have led to widespread cancellations that many organizations believe are improper, unlawful, or politically motivated.
Ongoing projects are being cut even after years of compliance, investment, and reliance on federal commitments. These decisions affect not only the institutions performing the work but also the communities and patients who depend on it.
