Of course NASA will be doing their own; but if someone ever wanted to start this up again with new signals, the James Web telescope might provide better coverage for said search then Aerecebo ever did. That said, it's searching in IR rather then radio frequencies... Not that it would be their top priority as they have other questions to answer....

I highly doubt NASA will ever open up JWT to us for crunching again.... I also think we will never be back to doing any work again at all.

The JWST does not operate at frequencies amenable to the sort of screening work that was done by SETI@Home, so there's no blocking by NASA.
