A Note about the Government Shutdown

As with the previous shutdown a few years ago, many federal funders have temporarily dismissed their "non-essential" employees and some have blacked out their websites. While the Feds are staffed by skeleton crews, many grant-related tasks will not be undertaken: awards may be delayed; Fordham will not be able to draw down funds; proposal deadlines will be pushed back indefinitely; program officers and grant management staff will not answer phone calls or respond to emails. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your OSP contact. We're here to get you through this.

Additionally, here is a list of contingency plans submitted by Federal agencies to the Office of Budget and Management.
