The Office of Research & Sponsored Programs Foundation is closely monitoring the impact of the federal government shutdown in coordination with campus leadership and the CSU Office of Federal Relations. At this time, we encourage Principal Investigators (PIs) with active funding or pending proposals to follow the guidance below:

For Investigators with Active Federal Awards

• If you receive any specific guidance from your sponsor regarding your active project, please notify your Post-Award Grant Analyst if they are not already included.
  

• Ensure that all required reports are submitted on time to avoid compliance issues.
  

• You and your staff may continue to work, unless you receive a specific stop notice. As of today, no federal agencies have issued stop work notices; however, the situation remains fluid and may change depending on the duration of the shutdown.

For Investigators with Pending or Forthcoming Proposals to Federal Sponsors

• If you receive a request from a sponsor regarding a pending proposal, please notify your Pre-Award Specialist if they are not already included.
  

• Please be aware that federal agencies may experience delays in proposal review and award processing during the shutdown.

We understand that this situation may raise questions or concerns. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the Office of Research & Sponsored Programs Foundation for assistance. 

We appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued commitment to supporting your students and programs at Cal Poly Humboldt.
