Same boat*--I didn't see they'd moved the shutoff up to 2:00 Pacific. We'll cross our fingers that the folks in Washington get their act together and soon.

*Boat not included.

So if they cannot process new applications, how does the review panel review already submitted apps? Unless, are they still getting paid to work and just can't handle new items?

They cannot review any applications until the government returns from any potential shutdown.

IIRC, they would not be paid.

Re: NASA Grant 2014

And it has become a reality. Its October 1st, no bill has been passed, and government agencies have been ordered to implement their shutdown plans.

Sigh...

"September, 30th 2013 at 0:00:00 PST" = September 30, 2013 at 01:00:00 PDT
"September, 30th 2013 at 14:00:00 PST" = September 30, 2013 at 15:00:00 PDT

PST was probably an error—PDT is in effect in the United States, so there's no reason to use PST. (PT should be specified instead, when you want the current time in the Pacific time zone, irrespective of whether standard or daylight time is in effect.)

Also, 00:00:00 is midnight at the start of the day, 24:00:00 is midnight at the end of the day. So (leaving aside the time zone issue) the original instruction seemed to imply that September 30 was too late. Hopefully nobody was planning to have until the end of the day September 30, and got tripped up by this.

Does anyone know at what time submissions were actually put on ice for the duration of the shutdown?

Re: NASA Grant 2014

The NASA website said 23:59:59 on the 30th (Monday).

It said that, but then it was showing 2:00 Pacific after I logged on Monday at around 5:30 PM Eastern (2:30 Pacific).

All moot now, I suppose.

Re: NASA Grant 2014

FYI -

4-H Exploding Bacon Robotics did receive the NASA Grant in prior years.

Good Luck everyone.
