Temporary Interruptions to NSF Research Infrastructure Outreach Website and COI Portal

May 9, 2025

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced that some digital services related to research infrastructure may experience temporary interruptions in the coming weeks. These changes are part of broader federal cost-reduction efforts that may impact the availability of certain NSF-hosted websites.

What You Need to Know:

  • The NSF Research Infrastructure Outreach website and Communities of Interest Portal may be intermittently unavailable.
  • These disruptions are expected to be temporary as NSF explores new ways to sustain these resources.
  • NSF has emphasized their commitment to supporting the research infrastructure community despite these transitional changes.

In anticipation of possible system disruption, please submit requests and proposals as early as possible in case of any interruption in the system.

For More Information:

The Department of Contracts and Grants will provide additional information as it becomes available. Please reach out to your assigned DCG Officer if you have questions about how this may affect your current or upcoming NSF-funded activities.
