I never saw that specific announcement Pegs. All I saw was the alert that no awards would be announced during the two weeks from May 19th to June 3rd when their software upgrade was taking place. That has been completed. In late March, the company advised it would be several months before the NIH announcement would be made public. The Air Force announcement could come at any time now.
Potential Award Delays in May 2015
Thursday, April 9, 2015
The NIH's ability to issue competing and non-competing awards may be delayed for two weeks from May 19, 2015 until June 3, 2015 due to software upgrades to NIH accounting and business systems. Examples of activities that may be impacted include: issuance of awards; establishment or changes to Employer Identification Numbers; processing of No Cost Extensions; and processing of Fellowship activations. See NOT-OD-15-088 for additional information.
We continue to make progress, albeit slower than desired, on all fronts. We previously reported submitting a proposal to the National Institutes of Health to interface CSpace with medical imaging systems. This proposal is still under review and we will not know the outcome for several months. This week we submitted a proposal to the Air Force to develop CSpace for use by cyber analysts. Award notification will not occur until early or mid-summer. In both cases we believe we presented compelling arguments for our approach, worked with globally recognized partners to enhance the likelihood of success not only during development but transition, and received the endorsement of large corporate end users.
