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.
