The NIH is proposing not to release scores following merit reviews. This will decrease transparency, support further politicization of funding decisions, and obviate the hard work and expertise of the peer reviewers. Public comments are open at this RFI link until October 13. Please share widely.

A long 🧵 about my former Hopkins colleague... Jon Lorsch is the NIH's Deputy Director for Extramural Research (DDER). He is the individual most responsible for overseeing the NIH grants program. He was formerly the Director of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. 1/21

For folks asking why bother commenting because the OMB won't care: comments help build cases for the courts by explicitly laying out harms. That's why it's really important to have your comments be as specific as possible. Also, contact your senators and reps! They actually do care about this.

Monday is the deadline for public comment! The Heritage Foundation has been mobilizing its members to leave comments in favor of the rule change, so every unique comment matters (don’t use a form letter or copy/paste—similar comments are batched and treated as one).

There's an OMB rule change that would require political oversight of scientific grants, and could pull any that don't "reflect presidential priorities" Another country has tried this before! It was the USSR and it was called Lysenkoism. By @thsaey.bsky.social www.sciencenews.org/article/omb-...

H.R. 1 could make an already fragile transition to adult care even harder for youth with special health care needs. New Medicaid work requirements + more frequent eligibility checks may increase coverage gaps and disrupt care. NEW on the blog ⤵️ policylab.chop.edu/blog/hr-1-co...

BREAKING: New proposed OMB regulation, applying to all federal grants, requiring grant reviews by senior political appointees and re-emphasizes that "peer review remains advisory and does not replace agency discretion". #standupforscience public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-10817.pdf

🧵 Public science in the US has taken some heavy hits over the last year, but the White House OMB is proposing a series of changes that will result in a TKO for science as we know it unless we fight back. Here's what's happening, and why it matters. 1/n

Science is for everyone! You don't have to be an expert; don't worry about finding the right words. Just speak from the heart. And if you feel despair, remember why we fight. The trees, the birds, the axolotls, the musk ox, the air and the water; they don't get a say. So we have to speak for them.

Write an op ed urging your Congresspeople to stand up for public science and oppose the OMB's proposed rule changes. An effective letter might cite the ways publicly funded research has benefitted your community; your state university news page can tell you what they've been up to if you're stuck.
