Preparing for a Government Shutdown
Updated September 22, 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 NIH RPPR Internal Routing Procedure
Effective July 15, 2023
The Office of Grants and Contracts has instituted new internal procedures to route NIH RPPRs. Additional information can be found on the OGC NIH RPPR page.
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.

Peoplesoft Finance and Grants Management are Going Fluid
On February 21, 2021, Peoplesoft Finance and Grants Management user interface will change from the “Classic” view and navigation to the “Fluid” view and navigation.
If you currently use the CU portal and/or Peoplesoft HCM you are already familiar with the Fluid user interface concept. This is the more modern concept of navigating via tiles and left-hand navigation groups. Fluid is also found to be more friendly for ease of use on small personal devices such as phone or tables. Next month the look of the Finance and Grants navigation will be updated to this concept. This includes navigation to Awards, Chartfields and Journal Entry.
Please watch for future announcements and training opportunities from the University Controller’s office. The Office of Grants and Contracts will also make announcements as these materials become available via our G&C Listserv.
