RIT Stop-Work Order Notification Process

RIT has developed the following process for faculty and staff impacted by agency stop-work or termination notices. The full policy may be referenced here - Stop Work Policy.

Federal sponsors can issue notices of suspension or stop-work orders for awards or activities. A Notice of Suspension or Stop-Work Order is a project modification from the applicable sponsoring federal agency that issued the award or a main awardee from which RIT is a subawardee to temporarily or permanently halt some or all activities on an award. This is distinct from agency-specific notices, guidance, or memos, related to the president’s executive orders. Notices of Suspension or Stop-Work Order are specific to an agency award, includes the agency project number, and instruct recipients to stop certain or all activities (or other specific changes) by altering the terms and conditions of the award. They may also allow certain other identified project activities to continue.
