Announcements and Updates
Dear Colleagues,
Please know that UCF is continuing to monitor federal actions impacting the research landscape and will provide updates to the community on important developments.
Our university’s broad research enterprise has remained steady and productive. While UCF has had a limited number of grant terminations, we recognize this can have significant impacts on specific researchers. The Office of Research is actively working with individual researchers who have been affected by cuts to assess options. Please know that we have resources to support you in navigating through any impacts you might experience, so please reach out if we can be of assistance.
We encourage you to continue your research as usual unless directly notified of changes, and to be cautious with new financial commitments that could be affected by evolving federal priorities. If you have concerns about research/topics you plan to propose, the Office of Research is happy to provide you guidance.
If a federal program officer contacts you, please reach out to Kim Smith, AVP for Research Administration, at kim@ucf.edu for assistance. We will also continue to share resources on our Federal Funding Announcements and Updates web page.
As always, the Office of Research is here to support you. Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns.
If you receive any updates or inquiries from a federal program officer, please notify Kim Smith, AVP for Research Administration, so our team at the Office of Research can assist you in navigating any necessary steps.
