A new article in @rollcall today highlighted the opposition to the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) proposed federal grant rule, stating that this proposal "triggered almost half a million responses."

Research!America President and CEO Russ Paulsen was quoted regarding projects, including clinical trials, that could be canceled midstream if the proposed rule is enacted. In particular, the potential impact on patients in clinical trials who "have put in volunteer hours and at some point taken on risk, probably to themselves, and who would then be told, 'Thank you for your service, but we're going to stop this experiment because there's somebody new who's interpreting administration priorities.'"

The public comment period on the proposed OMB federal grant rule has ended, but the work is far from over.

Nearly 500,000 comments were submitted, including Research!America's and those of many partners across the scientific community, sending a clear message about what's at stake for the future of science, technology, and medical research.

Now comes the next phase: ensuring policymakers at the federal and state levels understand the real-world consequences these proposed regulations could have on research, innovation, and the patients who ultimately benefit from new discoveries.

Our collective voice has made an impact, and we must keep using it to stand up for medical progress. Read more in this week's Weekly Letter.

Research!America has filed comments opposing a proposed Office of Management and Budget rule that would severely damage America's ability to conduct lifesaving research. Among other impacts, this rule would replace merit-based decision-making with political decision-making and give the government broad new authority to terminate research midstream at the expense of taxpayers and patients.

There’s encouraging news this week: bipartisan pushback against the proposed OMB rule suggests advocacy is making a difference.

But the warning signs are growing. News reports show a sharp decline in U.S. Ph.D. admissions – a trend that threatens the future of American research and, ultimately, the patients who depend on new discoveries.

Chaos, uncertainty, and fewer research grants won’t produce the next breakthrough. Investing in the next generation of researchers is an investment in our nation’s future health, economy, and security.

The stakes are too high to weaken the pipeline of science and innovation.
