What researchers can expect:

Funding delays: Be prepared for delays in grant funding, as well as in the review and announcement of proposals.

Backlog of requests: Agencies are working to process a backlog of grant applications, peer reviews, and other administrative requests.

Budgets and awards: Requests for no-cost extensions or re-budgeting may be delayed.

Stay informed: Keep monitoring agency websites and communications for updates on new deadlines and rescheduled review meetings.

ORA is glad to answer any questions we can as we all wait for agencies to catch up with the backlog.
