As we emerge from the government shutdown period, federal agencies are beginning to disseminate information on missed proposal deadlines.

The National Institutes of Health has rescheduled solicitation due dates affected by the shutdown. Specific information on these reschedule dates can be located in their notice, which is linked below:

The National Science Foundation has revised all proposal deadlines for proposals due between October 1 and October 25. A specific schedule of these revised due dates can be found in the link below:

The effect from other federal agencies has been minimal on our PreAward operations. Your Grant & Contract Administrator will work with you on a case by case basis. However, the delay of these proposals is resulting in a heavy volume of proposals due within the next four weeks. Please work closely with your PreAward GCA to submit as early as possible in order to avoid last minute submissions.
