They also addressed issues with the Oregon State project and the potential for non-NSF funding to support their staff during a potential funding gap. The team is working on a proposal to bridge the funding gap and hopes to have more guidance by the next two meetings scheduled for June and August.

Dan, Koorosh, and Tim discussed the potential continuation of NSF projects beyond the end of NICE, with a focus on funding and operational costs. Dan suggested that NSF might provide bridge funding or support to the sites to continue operations for ongoing projects. Koorosh raised concerns about the feasibility of this, while Tim expressed his expectation that NSF would continue to fund projects that have unspent funds. Jason shared his experience with an ERC project, which faced a hard stop at the end of year 10, with no extensions or additional funding. The team agreed that the situation could be different for their projects, but they would need to wait for contracts to be written to confirm their expectations.

Jason, Koorosh, Sungmoon, Tim, and Dan discussed the funding gap for their projects, which could last up to three months. They are trying to secure non-NSF funding to support their staff during this period. The extent of support from their universities in maintaining staff and funding is uncertain. Tim mentioned a loophole for projects like Simcenter, Nco Designsafe Rapid, which do not have to wait 90 days for funding. They are working on a proposal to bridge the funding gap. The team is also considering a supplement to continue under the same original proposal. The next two meetings are scheduled for June and August, and they hope to have more guidance by then.
