Guidance on Federal Funds Freeze
To the Campus Community:
The 猎奇重口 (UM) is closely monitoring actions by the U.S. Office of Management and Budgets (OMB) to freeze the distribution of federally appropriated funds. As of this evening, the action of OMB is under litigation, but little additional information has been provided to UM. We still have more questions than answers, and we will pass along more specific guidance as we receive it.
We ask all employees impacted by a freeze of federal disbursements to continue your work, keep documentation of any costs associated with your federal grant or contract, and pay close attention to any updates that are provided by UM leaders. As of right now, no additional actions are recommended.
We understand many of you have concerns and encourage you to share them with your supervisor. Specifically, if you have questions regarding your ongoing research, please reach out to VPR@umontana.edu.
