The Office of Research & Sponsored Programs (RSP) is closely monitoring the budget situation in Washington, D.C. We are working diligently to determine the most appropriate response to the shutdown. We will continue to provide updated guidance to this page as clearly and timely as possible. Please check this page often to stay up to date.
Due to a lapse in appropriations, the Federal government has shut down non-essential operations as of October 1st, 2025 at 12:01 am.
In general, there may be impacts to application submission, award processing, no-cost extensions, and other tasks that require federal sponsor interaction. Our commitment to help campus navigate sponsored programs administration is unchanged.
Should you receive any shutdown-related correspondence from the sponsor(e.g., stop work order), please immediately provide the information to your supervisor or Principal Investigator and to Research and Sponsored Programs.
Based on current existing federal agency contingency plans, we anticipate the following. The guidance below will be updated as we learn more.
