Message Regarding the Government Shutdown
In preparation for a potential government shutdown on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, the Office of Research Services (ORS) has created a website that will be kept current and available as long as necessary. In a departure from previous practice, the White House will not be maintaining a centralized repository of Agency Contingency Plans. Instead, each agency has been directed to communicate independently. Unfortunately, many agencies have not yet provided publicly available information. ORS is monitoring developments and will add agency-specific links to the webpage as they become available.
