Update on Federal and State Actions

We are aware there are questions about the impact that federal and state actions may have on our operations – particularly around funded research, grants, and educational programs. We are closely monitoring what continues to be an evolving landscape with rapid changes, and we are assessing any next steps that need to occur.

To best support affected personnel, Academic Affairs faculty and staff should forward any communications received related to federally funded work to the appropriate email(s) in the following list.

  • Research Impacts – Research and Innovation (Interim Associate Provost Justine Reel, reelj@uncw.edu)
  • Research Grant Awards – SPARC (Director Tamara Hatch, hatcht@uncw.edu)
    • Note: If you receive a stop-work order, or any other communication, directly from your program officer or sponsor and SPARC is not copied, please forward immediately to AOR@uncw.edu. 
  • Graduate Students, Graduate Assistantships, and/or Graduate Student Employees – Graduate School (gradassistantships@uncw.edu)
  • Grant-Funded Positions:
    • Employees in a research-related grant-funded position – SPARC (Director Tamara Hatch, hatcht@uncw.edu)
    • Employees in a non-research grant-funded position – SPARC (Director Tamara Hatch, hatcht@uncw.edu)
    • Graduate Students – Graduate School (GradSchool@uncw.edu)
  • Principal Investigators (PIs) – If there are questions, SPARC is available for one-on-one consultations regarding the status of your program(s). Contact AOR@uncw.edu to schedule.
  • International Students and Faculty – Office of International Students and Scholars (international@uncw.edu)
  • Student Financial Aid – Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (finaid@uncw.edu)
