💨 Abstract

On August 13, 2025, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore NSF grants to UCLA, previously suspended for arbitrary reasons, by August 19. The university had faced $584 million in cuts as part of a broader pressure campaign. The judge ruled that the NSF's justifications for the suspensions were inadequate. UCLA welcomed the decision, highlighting the importance of the restored funds for its research.
