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.
Preparing for a Government Shutdown
Updated September 22, 2023
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.
