USDA and HHS announced Harvest to Hallways on August 24, 2026: $50M in new cafeteria infrastructure funding on top of $20M in Equipment Assistance Grants, up to $25M more in Patrick Leahy Farm to School awards for FY2026, and $30M in HHS nutrition research. Each pot has a different applicant, a different route, and a different timeline. Here is how to position for all three before the notices post.
Read articleIn January 2026, DOE Policy Flash PF-2026-30 wiped out every 15% and 10% indirect cost cap the administration had imposed in 2025 — because H.R. 6938 ordered it to. The same law froze indirect policy at NSF, Commerce and NASA. But OMB's sweeping new grants rule quietly reopens the fight through the back door. Here is what changed, what money recipients can claw back, and how to protect your indirect recovery going forward.

The funding environment for academic research has structurally changed. Here is a clear-eyed diversification strategy for PIs, research offices, and institutions that cannot wait for the political fight to resolve.
