Notice to investigators: partnerships with federal statistical agencies are temporarily on hold


The MMS partnership with the federal statistical agencies has been temporarily suspended for fiscal year 2023. MMS still is accepting proposals for research topics as outlined in the solicitation; however, other federal agencies are not expected to participate in the support of MMS projects until the partnership is renewed. We expect the partnership to resume sometime in fiscal year 2024.
