Federal Government Shutdown Update: EPA, NSF, NASA, NEH, SBA, Department of Commerce, NOAA affected.

On December 22, 2018, the federal government began a partial shutdown, affecting a number of federal granting agencies that do not yet have a fiscal year 2019 budget. Grand Valley State University has sponsored programs funded by some of the affected agencies. Information regarding the agencies with the most impact on GVSU sponsored programs is available at the following linked pages:

The Department of Health and Human Services (including AHRQ, CDC, HRSA, NIH and others),  Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Education (DoED), and Department of Energy (DOE), among others, have received FY 19 funding and are not affected by the shutdown.

A complete list of Agency Contingency Plans and FAQs for all federal agencies is available on the OMB website.

For any agencies impacted by the shutdown, continue to follow sponsor-posted deadlines and submit proposals to Sponsored Programs in accordance with the proposal submission process so they may be reviewed and submitted where possible, although they will not be processed by agencies until normal operations resume.

No new awards or funding increments will be issued by agencies impacted by the shutdown but work on existing awards may continue within the funding obligated, unless further notification is received from the sponsor.  Note: Cooperative Agreements could be affected if federal participation is required, but not available.

Faculty members who plan to travel to Washington, DC for peer review panels or agency meetings should check with their points of contact at the affected federal agencies as most staff will not be working during the shutdown.

The GVSU Office of Sponsored Programs will continue to monitor the latest information and provide updates on this page. Please send any questions you may have about specific awards or agencies to [email protected].
