I did not see if anyone on the list noticed, but NSF removed it's contradictory guidance paragraph regarding continuing project activities and replaced it with a curiously-placed FAQ response. Good news, we may continue with the activities in our grant contracts according to the original contract terms. I think this happened late Friday night?

12. Can awardees resume with activities and spending relative to the non-compliant activities mentioned in the rescinded Memorandum M-25-13?

Consistent with the district court's order, NSF awardees may continue activities consistent with the current terms and conditions of their NSF awards at this time.

Thanks for sharing, that's very encouraging news for a Wednesday afternoon!

I don't think I agree with the article title ("NIH admits funding freeze is illegal") but "NIH directs staff to comply with court orders" is enough for me. Hopefully this is a sign that the other agencies will be doing the same.
