The proposed OMB rule, now delayed until December, would give political appointees greater control over federal grants and allow funding to be denied or canceled if it conflicts with the administration’s agenda. AAAS CEO Sudip Parikh calls the plan a “brazen power grab.”

Threats to funding basic research are at an all-time high. But despite often sounding obscure, basic research can have majorly beneficial outcomes. Research into lizard venom, for example, led to a breakthrough discovery that created one of the most widely used diabetes treatments in the world.

The OMB proposed rule puts federally funded research at risk – research that can often lead to major societal impacts. In one example, studies funded by the USDA allowed for the development of a novel method of eradicating screwworm flies, which has saved the livestock industry billions of dollars.
