亲爱的同事们,

我们带着许多学生的好消息继续进入春季学期。 Our MPH Admission Committee is processing applications quickly and our 招生 team is rolling out new outreach activities to support our on-campus MPH program,  including last Friday’s virtual Accepted 学生 Day and visits to several major recruitment hubs. 我们的博士申请者非常强大，因为我们热情地继续支持这些项目，即使我们的一些同行机构退出了。

然而，美国国立卫生澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究院并没有削减澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究经费的新消息。 我们继续等待国家预算、新领导人的就职和司法裁决。

Guidance from the University 赞助项目办公室 remains unchanged. 如果pi对联邦拨款不再续期、停止工作指令或资金“暂停”通知有任何担忧，应立即向院长麦克林汇报。 PIs should 不 take personnel actions in response to anticipated federal funding disruptions without prior consultation with and approval from Sponsored Programs, which Dean McClean will help facilitate. Check for updates on the University’s 澳门威尼斯人注册2025年行政过渡的最新在线资源.

澳门威尼斯人注册DEI内容的网站内容（项目、教员简介、课程），指导意见也保持不变。 The BU DEI FAQs are now live under the 社区帮助和宣传资源 section of the Living Our Values website.

Here, I reiterate specific guidance on your 澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究活动:

现有的奖项:

  • 我们应该按计划继续进行所有资助的工作。
  • We encourage PIs to check their spend rates (i.e., roughly 50% spent through 6 months, 75% through 9 months, etc.), aiming to use the funds awarded in the prescribed grant year.
  • 对于最后一年的资助，pi不应该认为他们将在奖励结束日期之后获得任何剩余的资金。 与你的项目官员讨论。
  • If you receive a communication indicating that certain activities must be paused or terminated on your projects, please reach out to Dean McClean to discuss before responding to Project Officials or federal agencies.

新提交:

  • 建议在校园进行澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究的补助金应使用目前协商的F&A率63.5%提交。 In the budget justification, it is important to include the following sentence: 波士顿大学 requests our current federally negotiated rate, but we will accept the rate approved at the time of award. The purpose is to make sure the grant doesn’t get removed from consideration at any point in the process if the approved rate ends up changing to a rate other than 63.5%.

就我们更广泛的财政资源而言， upon Provost approval, we have managed to ensure that you 不再 have to:

  1. Fill out the Labor Control Exception form 对于完全由拨款资助的职位.
  2. Complete Travel Authorization requests 对于完全由拨款资助的旅行.

All labor requests, travel, and external consultants on 不受限制的资金（学校资金）、礼物和自由支配的资金 continue to fall under the budget controls and a request for approval is required.

我们认识到，这些要求给教职员工带来了额外的工作，但它们对于维持财务稳定和确保资源得到战略性分配是必要的。 Please direct any questions to Ira Lazic at iralazic@bu.edu.

As always, we deeply value the work you do  and the community we have built here at SPH. 我们理解这是令人沮丧和焦虑的日子。 花一分钟时间善待彼此，也善待教务处的澳门威尼斯人注册，他们一直在大学截止日期前用一个困难的信息系统使我们的课程流畅。

我们正在努力跟上不断变化的形势，并将尽快分享额外的更新和指导。 与此同时，如果你有任何问题，请直接与我联系。

Finally, following the good attendance at last week’s discussion, we will be holding a不her virtual 开放论坛 for Faculty and Staff on Friday, February 28 at 12:00-1:00pm ET.

全体教职员工，我们今天上午10点在学校大会上再见。

Michael Stein
Dean Ad Interim
