Preparing for a Government Shutdown
Updated September 29, 2023
Office of Grants and Contracts
Assists University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus faculty in their efforts to secure external support for their instructional, research, public service, and scholarly activities.
Important Announcements
The federal government’s fiscal year ends on September 30 and Congress has not passed any of the 12 appropriations bills required to fund the government for the fiscal year beginning on October 1. If Congress fails to pass the appropriations bills, or a continuing resolution to fund government operations until the bills are passed, then the government will shut down.
Since it is becoming increasingly likely the federal government may shut down, either whole or in part, University employees who work on federally sponsored projects need to begin preparations now.

New Indirect (F&A) Cost Rate
New Indirect (F&A) Rates Effective July 1, 2023
Effective July 1, 2023, the University's indirect (F&A) rates are as follows:
- On-Campus Research - 56% (previously was 55.5%)
- On-Campus Instruction - 42% (no change)
- On-Campus Other (Public Service) - 30% (previously was 26%)
- Off-Campus - 26% (no change)
The indirect (F&A) rate for private industry clinical trials remains 28% of total direct costs.
There are no changes to our rates from Non-Profit Associations and Foundations and we will continue to follow sponsor policy for those rates with 10% de-minims in the absence of a policy.
What does this mean?
- Any awards segments that were awarded before July 1, 2023, and are still active will remain with our previous F&A rate structure (e.g. on-campus research would be 55.5%).
- Any new awards received will be setup at the new rates as of July 1, 2023, This includes proposals that are in development or submitted and not yet awarded.
The University's F&A Cost Grid has been updated and the 2023 F&A Agreement (NICRA) is available.

Year-end Recognition Reporting
If you administer a gift card or petty cash program where employees received more than $100 in payments during the 2019 calendar year, please ensure that recognition reporting has been provided to Employee Services prior to December 31, 2019. If you have questions related to 1099 or Recognition reporting, please contact the Compliance team at FS-Compliance@ucdenver.edu.
1099 Reporting for Study Subjects
If you administer a gift card or petty cash program where participants received more than $100 in incentive payments during the 2019 calendar year, you must complete the 1099MISC spreadsheet.
The first line of the spreadsheet is an example; please delete this example line before submitting the information to PSC. No further amendments to the format may be made. Once the template is completed, please send the 1099MISC spreadsheet via SECURE email to Mai Ngo no later than 5:00pm on January 7, 2019.
Marketplace Update - Invoice Image
Have you had trouble opening invoice images when approving vouchers in Marketplace? Good news - the PSC recently upgraded to a new platform for ImageNow (the software that lets you look at images of invoices attached to vouchers). With this new platform, you can open up invoice images much easier! Just click on the Invoice Image link in the bottom right of the voucher screen.
Note: Invoices that were uploaded in the previous version of the software still require Java and Internet Explorer. If you can’t open an image, take a look at the Accounting Date – you’ll find this field in the top right of the voucher screen. The accounting date is the date that the voucher was entered, which means that it’s the date that the invoice was uploaded. If this date is before June 24, 2019, the invoice was uploaded through the previous ImageNow.
