In January 2025, the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives launched a UCCS Federal Transition Team, along with a corresponding informational webpage: Federal Updates. The Federal Updates page includes all UCCS communications about the federal transition, as well as a list of resources for faculty and staff. 

The UCCS Federal Transition Team works in conjunction with the CU System guidance and UCCS Leadership on the federal transition to ensure timely communication and resources for the UCCS community. There will be updates each week in Friday’s Communique newsletter. 

This week’s updates: 

• In acknowledgement of the many ways that faculty research and creative works have been negatively impacted by changes in the federal funding landscape that began in 2025, the Office of Research and Academic Affairs are offering a new internal funding opportunity: the UCCS Faculty Research & Creative Works Revitalization Fellowship.
• The Student Government Association released a resolution regarding the federal transition.

Remember, there are many resources listed on the UCCS Federal Transitions page for anyone feeling stressed or overwhelmed.
