Proposed OMB Rule Change Would Allow Political Appointees Award & Cancel Federal Grants (Not Experts).
This affects everyone. There is currently a comment period for a proposed OMB rule change that would effectively throw out peer review (or make it meaningless) and leave the decision making for awards to political appointees. This would effectively destroy how research is done in the US. Please add your comment and pass along to your PIs and others so that everyone's voice is heard on this matter.
