Key websites for tracking changes to Federally Funded Research Grants & Proposals & guidance resources for implementing responses to remain in compliance with Federal Regulations WHERE TO GET UP TO DATE INFORMATION TRACKING UWT Office of Research https://www.tacoma.uw.edu/or Links to UW Seattle Office of Research https://www.washington.edu/research/ Links to centrally maintained updates https://www.washington.edu/research/or/guidance-on-new-admin-policy/ Federal policy updates centrally maintained updates https://www.washington.edu/provost/federal-policy-updates/ UW HR website with some resources related to Federal policy changes: https://hr.uw.edu/fedpolicy/
What PIs need to do: Watch email for any communications from Agency Program Officer If receive a communication from an agency program officer about a specific grant or proposal please send the communication to your Dean and UWTOR@uw.edu so we can track, answer questions, route accordingly, and/or set up a MOD if necessary in UW grant system. If receive an agency communication related to suspend or stop work orders associated with a specific award, or request for attestation please send it to your Dean s office, osp@uw.edu , the UWT Office of Research at UWTOR@uw.edu Unless PI has received a stop work or change order, please consider it business as usual for activity on PI federal awards. Proposals can continue to be submitted through UWT Office of Research to OSP. All federal agency submission systems are operational at this time. Check your funding announcement for any revisions or updates, including the opportunity expiration date. Consider signing up for alerts from federal agencies or sponsors. Submit any technical reports that are due for their grant funded projects so that required reporting is not delinquent.

Message to the NSF principal investigator community Jan. 29, 2025 Our top priority is resuming our funding actions and services to the research community and our stakeholders. We are working expeditiously to conduct a comprehensive review of our projects, programs and activities to be compliant with the existing executive orders. We will continue to try and communicate with you as these changes are happening in real time. All NSF grantees must comply with these executive orders, and any other relevant executive orders issued, by ceasing all non-compliant grant and award activities. Executive orders are posted at whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions. In particular, this may include, but is not limited to conferences, trainings, workshops, considerations for staffing and participant selection, and any other grant activity that uses or promotes the use of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) principles and frameworks or violates federal anti-discrimination laws. Please work with your institutional research office to assist you in complying with the executive orders. You can also direct your questions through this webform. We are receiving a large volume of submissions, and we will not be able to respond individually. As we collect your questions, we will compile and post frequently asked questions (FAQs) on this page. Please check back regularly to access these FAQs. Thank you for your work advancing science, engineering, technology and innovation for our nation.
NSF Grants If you have questions about your NSF grant you can either email the NSF Program Officer directly & CC UWTOR@uw.edu or Send your questions to UWTOR@uw.edu and we will submit questions in batches to the NSF via the webpage form they posted 1/29/25 to address recent federal policy changes.
If you have questions, please contact the UWT Office of Research at UWTOR@uw.edu We will be helping to track grant & proposal communications received, answering questions where possible, creating MODS in UW Grant & Proposal where necessary & working with PIs on next steps. UWT Office of Research will keep campus updated as we know more.
