Updates Related to Federal Orders, Memos, and Agency Guidance

Research is a focus of one of the Michigan Medicine working groups interpreting changes generated by federal funding and regulatory agencies as a result of executive orders and other actions. The Medical School Office of Research is maintaining a SharePoint page (login required) as a repository of communications and documents related to the output of that working group.
