Stand Up for Science!!! Help stop Vought's dystopian grant process changes. [View all]
May 29 Vought's OMB released over 400 pages of regulatory changes usurping congressional authority with changes that apply to all grants, not just NIH and NSF. Within those pages:
Grants must align with the felon's priorities, not agency mission set forth by congress.
Right to cancel any grant at will.
Strip peer review authority.
Trumpublican hacks empowered to make all decisions.
Effectively end international collaboration
This is staggering. All agency grant funds are being turned into a slush fund to advance private interests, NOT the public interest.
