As you are aware, a partial government shutdown has continued into the new year. While Department of Health and Human Services (includes NIH), Department of Defense, Department of Energy and the Department of Education are funded; others such as NSF, NASA, NOAA, USDA, NIST, and NEH are not. The following is a summary of information from our government partners and other colleagues.

  • NOAA GrantsOnline system is unavailable until further notice.
  • Most NIST-affiliated websites will be unavailable until further notice.
