We need your help! Submit your comment now to help stop NSF from implementing harmful grantmaking changes.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has demanded that all federal agencies implement a proposed rule that would give political appointees veto power over peer review and allow the government to cancel active grants mid-project with minimal justification.

Although the OMB rule is not final, the NSF is updating its grantmaking guidance to align with the OMB rule and requesting public comments on this change. We are asking you to share your insight.

Researchers are encouraged to speak up and submit comments sharing the impact this rule would have. Submit your comment by August 24 at 11:59pm ET. https://buff.ly/SPPgXap
