The deadline to comment is tomorrow! OMB’s proposed Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance enables abrupt suspension or termination of federal funds for ongoing research projects. Act now by writing a public comment before Monday, July 13 at 11:59 PM ET: buff.ly/Mr96tW4

Leave Grant Administration in the Hands of Experts: “OMB should preserve flexibility in award structures, maintain safeguards against arbitrary termination of research awards, and ensure that any reforms support stable and predictable administration of federally funded research programs.”
