The partial government
shutdown — which ended
temporarily on Sunday as
lawmakers work to create an
agreeable budget — directly
impacted the ability of re-
searchers at the Cooperative
Institute for Great Lakes Re-
search to publish their find-
ings.
Professor and ecologist at

the University of Michigan’s
School for Environment and
Sustainability, Bradley Car-
dinale serves as director of
the CIGLR, a research orga-
nization sponsored by the
University and the National
Oceanic
and
Atmospheric
Administration.
Cardinale says his organi-
zation works with NOAA and
represents about 50 percent
of NOAA’s research and man-
agement operations in the

Great Lakes. While his orga-
nization was able to continue
its research despite the shut-
down, the data CIGLR col-
lected during the shutdown
could not be uploaded to
NOAA’s online models, which
are used by the public, until
the shutdown ended.
“The impact of the govern-
ment shutdown was sort of
good news, bad news with
respect to our particular or-
ganization,” Cardinale said.
“The bad news is all of
the NOAA models, all of
the NOAA projects, every-
thing that’s led by or host-
ed by NOAA was down.
The good news is … we
were able to maintain a lot
of the data collection that
is important to NOAA, so
that once their models
come back online, we can
begin to repopulate that
with data.”
Cardinale
highlighted
the impacts of not being
able to make his organi-
zation’s
data
available
through NOAA’s models.
As an example, he said the
CIGLR works with NOAA
to create and publicize
ice forecasts on the Great
Lakes, which are used by
and can affect the sched-
ules of people in the ship-
ping industry.
When the government
is shut down, Cardinale
said, these forecasts are
not readily available for
those who rely on them as
part of their work. Even

though the data is still be-
ing collected by CIGLR, the
shutdown leaves Cardinale’s
organization without access
to the NOAA models to up-
date them.
“It highlights the impor-
tance of cooperation between
public organizations like uni-
versities
and
government
agencies,” Cardinale said. “It
allows for some redundancies
to occur, so if the government
agencies go down, public in-
stitutions like our University
can continue collecting data.
Now, those models are still
hosted on the NOAA serv-
ers, so if NOAA goes down
they’re not available to any-
one, but the good news is we
can still be collecting data to
update them when they come
back online.”
LSA junior Alyssa Cutter
does research on breast can-
cer and cancer cells in the
University’s Department of
Radiology. She said her re-
search is funded in part by
the National Institutes of
Health, which has still been
funded throughout the shut-
down.
For her research, however,
the shutdown has affected
grant funding and reviews.
She said the government
shutdown hasn’t altered her
research in its current state
but the shutdown’s impact
will be felt further down the
road.
