Federal Government Reopening: Update for the Research Community

Sent to all federal PIs, research associate deans, other academic leaders, and central and departmental research administrators.


The federal partial government shutdown has ended and federal agencies have reopened. At this time, we do not anticipate material impacts to ongoing sponsored projects at the University of Minnesota.

If you have questions about a specific sponsored project or receive a stop work order, please contact your SPA grant and contract officer (GCO).

Thank you for your continued work and patience.

April Coon, Interim Associate Vice President for Research Administration
