I wanted to share my thoughts on the proposed OMB rule change that would radically transform federal grant-making into an overtly partisan political process. It's highly alarming, and would be devastating for American science (among many other things). https://youtu.be/ZyBibk4a6Vs?si=Bg1KCBtDR1wOTKir

Many professional and legal societies, as well as gov/constitutional scholars, have already opined--and there is almost universal alarm. For instance, statements from: American Physical Society: https://www.aps.org/initiatives/advocate-amplify/policy/federal-grants-rule-change American Meteorological Society: https://www.ametsoc.org/ams/about-ams/ams-statements/statements-of-the-ams-in-force/ams-summary-comments-on-the-office-of-management-and-budget-proposed-rule-on-regulation-for-federal-financial-assistance/
