I’ve spent 40 years in research. I have never seen a threat to science like the new grantmaking rule

1

The proposed grantmaking regulations threaten the integrity of the American scientific research process by introducing political criteria for funding.
2

Historically, American science has thrived under a system where peer review by scientists, not political agendas, determines research funding.
3

The new rules could undermine scientific progress by making research dependent on political priorities, risking innovation and discovery.
4

American scientific research has significant economic impacts, generating $822 billion in activity and supporting nearly 370,000 jobs annually.
5

Maintaining a non-political approach to research funding is crucial for preserving America's leadership in global scientific advancements.
