My suspicion is we’re in a purgatory period.

There isn’t much this week in the way of new funding opportunities, and due to deadlines (every dang museum grant having a workforce element and expiring today), we’re about to have a whole lot less volume. But we still have a substantial increase in the overall funding number due to the re-up of an opportunity at the National Science Foundation.

We could be in for a fallow period at least through the end of the year. As you likely spotted in Thursday’s edition of THE MONEY, Democrats want to put off big funding decisions until they’re at the helm of Congress, which make sense given how large and different their majorities will be. Because agencies don’t enjoy pulling money after it’s solicited or breaking the law, they likely will be hesitant to put out money that’s not relatively safe to not get cut or rerouted. States also might be a tad lighter through year’s end given all the gubernatorial flips and retirements, which definitely will shift what funding gets out the door and for what.

There is plenty of money that’s already appropriated for the year, though. I wouldn’t give up on new funding completely. We’re just in yet another period of uncertainty.
