Methodology

All content on Lost Funds is based on publicly available data.

The primary source for grant award amounts is USAspending. Litigation information is pulled directly from court documents available via CourtListener. Expected funding figures are drawn from the strongest evidence available. We rely on award announcements when we can, falling back to agency budgets, Congressional appropriations, and historical trends. If we have only national funding levels for an impact, we estimate states’ expected shares using historical spending when possible, supplemented by program-specific allocation factors like population or highway miles.

We catalog a disruption when one of the following has occurred:

  1. the formal cancellation of funding a federal agency has committed to deliver under a grant award or contract for procurement;
  2. the freezing of funds wherein a formal cancellation does not exist, but grant and contract recipients cannot draw down funds; or
  3. a slowdown in the pace of grantmaking as measured by the number of new awards issued or fewer dollars obligated or outlaid under awards compared to previous years.

We identify funding disruptions using a variety of signals, including agency communications, directives from the administration, media coverage, litigation filings, and direct submissions.

We also track litigation arising from disruptions where the attorney general or governor of a state brings an action against President Trump, federal departments or agencies, or executive branch officials. In cases where plaintiff states seek nonmonetary relief such as an injunction, we calculate the amount under dispute for a given impact area as the aggregate of disrupted funds among plaintiff states. Where plaintiff states have specified loss amounts in their pleadings, we use those figures to calculate the amount of funding restored from litigation, otherwise we derive them from state-level estimates of funding disruptions.

Note: For the purposes of this site, states are defined as the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
