Federal Government Shutdown Guidance
Update: The partial shutdown of the U.S. federal government ended when President Donald Trump signed funding legislation on February 3, 2026. The Department of Homeland Security was funded through a limited continuing resolution that will expire on February 13, 2026. All other departments and agencies of the federal government are funded through September 30, 2026. The Research Foundation of the City University of New York will continue to monitor for any impact on the CUNY research community.
The purpose of this page is to provide a dedicated space for updates and to provide guidance to help our community members navigate the next steps. The Research Foundation of CUNY (RFCUNY) has learned from previous experience with previous federal government shutdowns and has developed contingency plans, guidelines, and procedures to prepare for future lapses in federal funding. We closely monitor funding and budget bills in Congress, particularly those with the potential to lead to a federal government shutdown. We will keep the RFCUNY and CUNY community informed of any new developments.
If you have any questions, please contact us using RFCUNY’s Federal Government Shutdown form.
