Dear Colleagues:

We are closely monitoring news out of Washington D.C. about a potential federal shutdown on October 1.

This is a very fluid situation. At this time, please assume relevant project deadlines continue to hold, unless you hear otherwise directly from the OVPR or a federal agency.

We will provide updates and guidance as more information becomes available, and our team will be standing by to help our research community navigate a federal shutdown if one materializes.

Best,

Cass
