The comment period for closed last night at 11:59pm Eastern. The 天美影院 has submitted expressing concerns related to OMB鈥檚 proposed changes, based on feedback received from the 天美影院community.
In summary,
鈥淭he proposed changes in the Uniform Guidance, shifting it to a set of uniform grant regulations, would undermine what is a revered pillar of American greatness; our scientific enterprise. Our nation has benefited enormously from a research funding system grounded in scientific excellence, peer review, and long-term investment. It has allowed us to be the world鈥檚 economic driver for generations. Our nation should invest in science, including a funding framework that promotes scientific independence from political interference, stability, and evidence-based decision making, to preserve our dominance. These changes will only undermine our leadership. The 天美影院 urges OMB to withdraw the proposed rule entitled 鈥淩egulation for Federal Financial Assistance鈥� in its entirety.鈥�
