Submit Comments on the Proposed Rule from OMB
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), released a proposed rule that could severely impact science funding policies in the U.S. If finalized as written, this rule would give political appointees veto power over peer review, allow the government to cancel active grants mid-project with minimal justification, restrict researchers' ability to publish their work and attend scientific conferences, and more. Join fellow NeuroAdvocates and submit your comments before the July 13 deadline.
