News reports show that, in the months since he was inaugurated, President Trump or senior members of his administration have been sued over 350 times. Both the subjects of the lawsuits and the facts and circumstances of the cases vary widely. But far and away the largest cohort of cases deals with challenges to unilateral actions taken by the administration relative to federal grant funding.
Almost daily, the media updates the dizzying activity of new federal agency actions taken, suits launched in response, judicial decisions rendered and their impacts, and appeals filed. However, there are some common federal grants management policy matters being contested, which could affect not only existing federal grants but also result in long-term changes to the federal grants system.
This webinar will take a close look at the most important issues that these lawsuits attempt to address, including:
- The grant agreement as a noncancellable federal obligation
- Permitted bases for grant interruption
- Determinations of noncompliance
- Cessation of payment
- Capping indirect cost recovery
- Pausing (Suspension of) project implementation
- Termination of grant awards and subawards
- Recovering costs of award closeout
The current federal fund management environment is in a state of unprecedented flux. Understanding the resolution of recent cases could help stabilize the situation.
