To our NOAA-based people:  I sincerely appreciate all you\u2019ve done to remain productive; keep in  touch with your colleagues and supervisors as you work from home, the  library, or elsewhere; deal with childcare challenges; and struggle to understand what is and is not allowed. To many of you on CU Boulder campus: Thank you&nbsp;for providing conference room or desk\/lab space for  colleagues displaced from the federal building.<br> <br>These are very difficult times, and I\u2019m sorry for what you\u2019re going  through. I know you all, like me, feel deeply for our federal colleagues, who have already missed a paycheck. My team is working to address a number of questions and concerns that have come up in recent weeks. I hope to be able to schedule an in-person Town Hall in the next  few days, or at least to publish a set of FAQs that may provide some  clarity.<br> <br> On the fiscal side, CU\u2019s Office of Contracts and Grants has chosen NOT  to suspend essential work on our federally funded sponsored projects unless specifically instructed to do so through a stop-work order. What  this means for us is that we can continue working on our projects as long as we have available funding and an active period of performance. Our finance team is working to provide PIs with financial reports indicating what funds are available for which projects, and will be in contact with updates for projects that are nearing the end of their  funding.
