I am sending this out this am with the time sensitive headline because if you want to comment on the OMB’s dangerous rule changing the way federal grants are decided, you have until Monday.

Here is the deal copied from Jessica Craven (Chop Wood, Carry Water):

Jackson Heights Indivisible posted a 40-minute video (below) explaining how (and why) to make comments on the OMB’s dangerous rule changing the way federal grants are allocated.

Under this proposal, the White House would control federal grants for science, mathematics, and engineering research based not on merit, but on partisan political concerns. Political appointees would control which researchers and institutions receive funding and how the funding could be spent.

The last day to comment is Monday!

Please feel free to use this video as a resource. If you don’t have the time, you can read Elizabeth Ginexi’s post: “This New OMB Rule Is Bigger Than You Think” here. Comment prompts, templates, and section reference guide for non-scientists is here. Link to submit comment is here.

Thanks for all that you continue to do.
