An earlier Emory Report article stated that new proposal submissions to the National Science Foundation (NSF) could not move forward during the shutdown. According to current guidance from NSF, they will continue to accept proposals following their published deadlines. 

With this guidance, Emory’s Office of Research Administration recommends faculty applying for NSF grants should continue with submissions through their proposal submission system, and with an expectation that posted deadlines should be met. Faculty with questions may contact their RAS pre-award staff member or OSP representative.
