The October 2025 doc says that (some part of to all of?) it does not apply to grants from NIH, refers to this link for the NIH Grants Policy Statement: grants.nih.gov/grants/polic...

It’s like if your landlord made you escrow your full lease period’s rent upfront. You would not then have money available to you to buy other stuff that whole time. You’d have way less available for groceries and would have to get very austere in any spending choices you make going forward.

NIH staff are being required to fully fund ~ 50% of their grants. This means that all 4 years of an award will be paid out of this appropriation. This will help them get the appropriated funds spent, but will mean they can only fund (1/2 + 1/4*1/2) = 5/8 has many grants as they would have otherwise.
