I noticed the shutdown of last year. In particular, my advisor(I was a doctorate student at the time) was informed he won a significant award by the NSF with guaranteed funding and was unable to recieve it until two months or so after the shutdown. (As a side note we were also disrupted by the immigration ban, and were unable to bring on excellent scholars to pursue research at our facility.)

I'm no longer in research, but of my companions who are, this is definitely being felt.

Yep. NIH granting cycle is totally derailed & it's job interview season in academia.
