A California university has won back a research grant the Department of Transportation suspended earlier this year, thanks to an injunction in a federal lawsuit.
The Transportation Department in May canceled $54 million for seven transportation research centers at universities around the country, including $12 million for the University of California, Davis’ National Center for Sustainable Transportation.
Agency officials said the cuts were part of an effort to purge “grants that were explicitly geared towards advancing a radical DEI and green agenda.”

Susan Handy, director of the UC Davis research center, had joined an ongoing federal lawsuit filed by other University of California staff over research cuts by several federal agencies.
