New White House plan for science and technology released yesterday www.whitehouse.gov/releases/202... 1/9

OSTP Director Releases Landmark Report and Recommendations for Renewing American Scientific Discovery

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Assistant to the President and Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Michael Kratsios

. Wow — just checked the link and yes, this tool is incredible! Thanks www.faseb.org/science-poli...

I just registered: grants.nih.gov/news-events/...

ASM has submitted formal comments urging the White House Office of Management and Budget to withdraw a proposed rule that would weaken the peer review process, limit scientific collaboration and networking and create new barriers to conducting and disseminating research: asm.org/articles/pol...

OMB needs to hear from scientists, engineers, educators, students and others who can explain how the proposed rule on federal grantmaking would have devastating effects on their communities and the nation. Here's how to format an impactful comment & critical steps to take to make your voice heard ⤵️

Excellent response from Dr. Bertagnolli to the article from Scott Atlas www.linkedin.com/pulse/dont-a...

Don't abolish the NIH. Fix it.

Scott Atlas wants to abolish the National Institutes of Health and let markets take over ("NIH is a government weapon for political power. Abolish it," Washington Post, July 2).

linkedin.com

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 8 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/DhKYY

I kicked off the July 4th weekend by excising my freedom to provide my comments to the OMB proposed rule changes. This substack was very helpful.

Mark Peifer (He, him)@peiferlabunc.bsky.social · 2mo ago

There is a straightforward mechanism for the public to comment. Former NIH program office Elizabeth Ginexi has written an exceptionally helpful guide on how to so, with detailed suggestions. 3/n elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/what-we-ne...
