State is continuing to suspend contracts in response to the issuance of the Governor’s
Executive Order (S-09-08). The Office of Research has learned that Caltrans
mailed their suspension notices on Friday, August 8. We anticipate receiving
the Caltrans notices early this week, which will increase the total number of suspended
contracts to 24.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>In
an effort to keep PIs and departments informed about the actions taken by the
State as a result of S-09-08, and to help answer some of the more frequently
asked questions regarding suspended contracts, the Office of Research has developed
FAQs and posted them to its website. In addition, it has posted a list of
suspended contracts so that departments and colleges may verify if any of their
contracts have been suspended. We intend to add to the FAQs over time and
will alert our clients via this list serve when new questions and answers have
been posted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
