Departments must meet GIM 19, sponsor deadlines and requirements
Proposal SubmissionBusiness is Anything but Usual
All Federal proposals in which systems are unavailable
Sponsors will announce revised deadlines
UW GIM 19 deadlines will be re-calculated

Applications marked RTS=No will be reviewed and returned
New and Revised Awards/ApprovalsSuspended as of October 1st
All new and revised federal awarding activity
Pre- and post- award approvalsOSP action-
Processing all funding and approvals received prior to the shutdown.
Therefore, you may see Funding Action (FA) and Post-Award Change (PAC) receipts for federal awards.
Existing Awards and ContractsSpending may continue on existing federal awards
received – UNLESS notified differently by the sponsor.“Stop-work” order or other suspension or termination
noticesOSP will issue a PAC to place the budget number in
a “Status 3” & immediately notify the PI/dept via e-mail
This prevents expenditures and revenue from posting
GCA may be contacted via GrantTracker for any exceptions to the Status 3 needed.
Subawards (i.e., outgoing subcontracts)Existing Federal Awards –
If rebudgeting is allowable under expanded authorities and within expanded authorities limits, modifying existing or funding new subawards may be considered.
OSP will not process changes to a subaward (add new or change existing), if sponsor approval is required. Please hold onto these requests.
Post-Award Sponsor Approval RequestsRequests for approval (concurrence requests)
that are already in OSP will be reviewed and placed on HOLD.
For new requests – Submitted by sponsor system, please wait until
system is back onlineSubmitted to sponsor by email, please wait
until federal sponsors are back in the office
Advance Budget Numbers Requests for Expected AwardsAdvance Budget Numbers:
OSP will continue to grant eligibility for ABNBe conservative in the amount of pre-award
spending There is never any guarantee the sponsor will
cover these costs.OSP will notify campus should there be any
change or limitation we need to implement in this process.
Budget ExtensionsOSP can still receive budget extension
requests. All temporary budget extension requests will be
processed.All regular budget extension requests will be
reviewed and placed on HOLD.OSP cannot send required notifications to
sponsors via sponsor systems.OSP cannot fully process the Post-Award Change
(PAC) and extend a budget number without sending these notifications.
Closeout of Federal Sponsored ProgramMost final reports are submitted via sponsor
systems or e-mail Therefore, Closeout Notification Reminders
from OSP will be suspended until further notice.
OSP will resume the notification process when sponsor systems and staff are available.
Result – PIs may have less time to complete and submit their reports.
Where do we go from here?We anticipate a flurry of communication
when the shutdown is over.Sponsor systems may take up to a day to be
back online.OSP will continue to email MRAM with
updates.
