Action Required: Submit Your Comment on Proposed Federal Grants Rule by July 13
From Kristin Bigos, PhD, ASCPT President
On May 27, 2026, the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published a proposed rule that would significantly reshape how federal research grants are administered. In response, ASCPT will be submitting organizational comments on behalf of our members. If approved, impact will be government-wide, including the National Institutes of Health, and other divisions of the Department of Health and Human Services (CDC, FDA, ARPA-H, SAMHSA), the National Science Foundation, along with more than 40 other agencies.
How can you help? Individual voices matter. OMB gives greater weight to tailored responses reflecting real-world experience. We strongly encourage you to review the full proposed rule and consider submitting your own comments based on your experience as a researcher, award recipient, trainee, and/or the impact to your institution.
Learn more about how you can act and submit your comment. Thank you for taking the time to consider this request. With significant disruption to federal grant administration on the horizon, your voice has never been more important. |
