Short Statement: Since the last approval period, the WTP contractor that maintains the DMS has been working on a software upgrade for the DMS, (migrating from Cold Fusion to PHP) which will improve the security and utility of the system. However, WTP has encountered some challenges since the last approval period including a government shutdown from October 1 to November 13, 2025. In early December 2025, all NIEHS tool sites were inaccessible to NIEHS staff and grantees for updates, submissions, and general use of the products, including the DMS. The DMS is now back online as of February 11, 2026.
