Current Notice
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has resumed operations under a continuing resolution through January 30, 2026.
NSF is prioritizing urgent activities, including restoring award-making capacity and ensuring oversight of existing awards. Staff are working through significant backlogs, so response times may be slower than usual.
Proposals & Funding Opportunities
- Proposals submitted during the shutdown remain valid and will be processed in order received.
- Delays in reviews and funding decisions are expected, with priority given to time-sensitive research, student or trainee support, and projects with critical field or seasonal timelines.
- Changes requested after proposal deadlines require program officer approval. NSF cannot reopen closed deadlines unless a revised solicitation or notice is issued.
Payments
- The ACM$ payment system remained operational; institutions may continue drawing funds for allowable costs.
- Expenditures allowable under award terms remain reimbursable.
- Reports submitted via Research.gov will be processed in order received.
- NSF will prioritize award actions based on urgency and programmatic impact, particularly those tied to student support or near-term project start dates.
- Awards that expired during the shutdown may request a no-cost extension; late submissions should document shutdown impact.
Award Management
- Reports submitted through Research.gov will be processed in order received.
- Award actions will be prioritized based on programmatic need, urgency, student support, and near-term project timelines.
- Awards that expired during the shutdown may request a no-cost extension; justification should note shutdown-related delays.
