<p class="MsoNormal">MyFunding is currently functional, including the system-to-system (S2S) feature. The underlying cause of the issues is still being investigated. Therefore, until MyFunding is more stable, departments may want to continue their S2S applications
in ASSIST or Workspace for proposals due on or before Friday, February 21, 2020 to avoid potential duplication of work.<o:p></o:p></p>
