Academic researchers struggle to understand and comply with rapidly changing federal funding agency naming requirements

Researchers and grant administrators at US institutions face confusion and compliance risk when federal agencies enforce presidential directives to rename programs, initiatives, and funding streams without clear guidance on implementation timelines or retroactive application. Current solutions fail because agencies don't provide centralized, accessible documentation of these changes, forcing researchers to manually track updates across multiple agency websites and risk submitting proposals using outdated program names that could result in rejection or delays.
