On May 29, 2026, the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published a in the Federal Register that would substantially revise 2 C.F.R. Part 200, commonly referred to as the 鈥淯niform Guidance鈥�, which applies to federal grants, cooperative agreements and other types of federal assistance funding.
If finalized, the proposed rule would significantly impact federal awards, including requiring political appointee review of grant decisions, restrictions on who applicants may work with, expanded rights the federal government has in modifying or terminating awards, and much more. Because these changes have significant implications for federally funded research, the University and 天美影院Medicine are compiling an institutional response to the federal government.聽
Please use the University鈥檚 (天美影院NetID required) to provide your comments to University leadership to support the University鈥檚 official response to OMB. Your feedback and examples of impacts will inform our official 天美影院response, and comments are still being accepted.
As a member of the public, you may also comment directly to OMB; however, OMB will consider only one comment per institution. Therefore, if you choose to submit comments to OMB in an individual capacity, you should state your experience generically (e.g. a faculty member in at a large public university) but do not mention your affiliation with the 天美影院.
