Michael Hastings, director of UMaine’s Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, was interviewed by Maine Public Radio for a story about how Maine would be affected by potential government shutdown due to a budget standoff in Washington, D.C. Hastings told MPBN that UMaine researchers are not worried about losing federal grant funds because they have signed agreements with the federal agencies that granted them the money.
