Government
agencies have begun posting their respective lapse of government funding
information notices. The majority of non-essential government employees will
likely not be working during a shutdown (meaning your program officers won’t be
available).
What does
this mean for you?
You
should continue work on your current projects as federal funds are already
obligated. However, some agencies may provide further direction which could
impact expenditures. Please forward any such notices to ORSP.
Agencies
will be accepting applications but no new awards will be issued during this
lapse.
Program
officers will not be available to approve any project changes that require
prior approval (addition/removal of a PD or co-PD, change in scope or
approved activities of the project, the absence of 3 months or more of a
PI/co-PI).
Some
agencies (such as the Forest Service) will not accept nor approve payment
requests during the lapse.
Below are
notices from the agencies likely affecting you:

We will continue to post information
as it becomes known to us. Please consult with the OSP prior to communicating
with your program officers during this lapse as we may be able to answer your
questions.
