Good morning from the nation's capital, where a foot of snow has shut the government that was open...
I could use some assistance for two of my stories planned for my upcoming Feb. issue (deadline FRIDAY).
1. Examples of how institutions are implementing the Common Rule and feelings as the actual date arrives (Jan. 21, a federal holiday. Oh the ironies!). Are you ready, panicked, just glad it's finally here?
2. How the shutdown is affecting your institution and how you're coping. How are you supporting PIs who can't draw down funds? Have you needed to reach (non-HHS) agency officials on urgent matters but were unable to, etc.?
Will consider comments/quotes on or off the record. Any level of detail appreciated.
Please contact me off list.
Thanks and belated Happy New Year to all!
Regards,
