I am reaching out to provide an update regarding the ongoing situation with the federal government that has impacted our institution’s registration with the System for Award Management (SAM.gov). I understand that the uncertainty of the situation is concerning and can assure you that we are dedicated to resolving the issue as quickly as possible.
Our teams (Office of Federal Relations, General Counsel, Board of Regents) continue to work through every available channel to resolve this issue. Our congressional delegation and COGR have also directly engaged with the General Services Administration (GSA), which oversees SAM.
In addition to our engagement with the GSA I am directly contacting federal funding agencies to make them aware of the issue with our renewal and will request accommodations with respect to any potential missed deadlines or rejected submissions.
We ask that PIs and administrators continue to route submissions to the Division of Sponsored Programs (DSP) as they normally would. DSP will document on-time submissions and work with PIs to resubmit if necessary once we have reached a resolution. Please reach out to dsp@uiowa.edu if you have questions about how this will impact your sponsored projects.
I will share updates with campus via email and our website as they become available.
