The Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) proposed rule would significantly change how federal grants and cooperative agreements are awarded, managed, and terminated. 

If finalized, the rule would, for example, allow termination of grants for policy reasons, not just compliance or performance failures; establish political appointees as the final decisionmaker on every grant and cooperative agreement; put in place a host of new administrative requirements for grantmaking agencies and recipients; and codify limits on racial, ethnic, and gender-related research. 

Read more about OMB's rule change in this week's Weekly Letter. And learn about our advocacy efforts around this issue in Russ's Corner.
