Weekly Terminations vs Reinstatements
The following visualization shows the weekly number of terminated and reinstated grants since 2025-02-03. For more information about how the statuses “termination” and “reinstatement” are determined along with their dates, check out the “Methods” post.
To calculate the weekly change in grant disruptions, we calculate the total number of reinstatements (+) for that week and subtract the total number of terminations (-) from it.
The cumulative net terminated grants, which represents how many grants have been terminated since 2025-02-03, is calculated as the sum of the weekly changes. When this value is equal to zero that means all terminated grants have been reinstated.
Grants by State
- Total disruption includes all grants that have been ever terminated. Even if a grant is currrently reinstated, it is included in this total, since the grant had been previously terminated.
- Currently terminated grants exclude any grants that have been reinstated.
- Currently reinstated grants exclude any grants that have been terminated.
- “Lost funding” is the amount of funding awarded to grants that was not paid out because of terminations, excluding reinstated grants.
