NEW: When Harvard said no to the White House, donors said yes — with their wallets. Within 24 hours of Garber’s Monday message, Harvard pulled in over $1 million from 3,800+ online donations, per a source. in @thecrimson w/ @graceunkyoon https://t.co/uCainqkaku

@thecrimson Judge Burroughs’ Wednesday ruling gave Harvard a reprieve — but DOGE could still block funds at the finish line. Former @HHSGov counsel Sam Bagenstos said using grant review to sidestep the order “sure looks like something Judge Burroughs would want to look at for contempt.”

@thecrimson DOGE took control of the federal grant payment system early on — but turned to NIH in April, when three DOGE officials met w/ grant officers, per source. One was Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, who left DOGE in June. It is unclear which DOGE officials are still involved w/ NIH.

@thecrimson Per one person familiar, Harvard & Northwestern are fully blocked from NIH funding. Harvard has drawn down $0 since April. Cornell’s main campus is restricted; Columbia, Penn, & Brown received funds only after settling; Princeton, UCLA, & Duke are still receiving payments.

@thecrimson NIH began issuing Notices of Award (NOAs) to Harvard, Northwestern, Cornell, and others in early July after a court ruling, per memo obtained. But DOGE, which controls the payment system, blocked the money from going out — unless schools had settled with the White House.

SCOOP: NIH resumed grants to Harvard and others in July after a court order — but DOGE quietly blocked the money, per sources. Why? Harvard hadn’t settled with the White House. More on funding flows to all nine schools on “The List” — in @thecrimson. https://t.co/R64IlFgeTS
