Note to Investigators
The MMS partnership with the Federal statistical agencies is suspended for Fiscal Year 2018. MMS still is accepting proposals for research topics as outlined in the solicitation; however, other Federal agencies are not expected to participate in the support of MMS projects this year. We expect the partnership to resume in Fiscal Year 2019.
