The goals are to increase oversight of how taxpayer money is used, align awards with current law and administration policy, and reduce what OMB views as unnecessary burdens on recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These changes apply to all federal agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/public-inspection.federalregister.gov\/2026-10817.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">412-page behemoth<\/a>&nbsp;certainly has the potential to shake up the science-industrial complex that has gutted American trust in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/magazine.hms.harvard.edu\/articles\/there-crisis-trust-science-and-medicine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science to a meager 36%<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOMB has proposed revising the rules that govern how federal dollars are spent. The changes would inevitably lead to unlegislated reductions in funding and damage US leadership in science, both in academia and industry.\u201d via&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ScienceMagazine?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@ScienceMagazine<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sJx1eIVF7h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/t.co\/sJx1eIVF7h<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RSHWTAcW8w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/RSHWTAcW8w<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014 RealClearScience (@RCScience)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RCScience\/status\/2062227815530103031?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the action items embedded in this OMB plan, the new rules would allow agencies to terminate awards if they conclude that a grant \u201cdoes not effectuate program goals, federal agency priorities, or the national interest as they exist at the time of the termination,\u201d and also under any additional termination provisions written into award terms. This substantially widens discretion beyond classic noncompliance or performance failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the grants that continued to fund&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/legalinsurrection.com\/2024\/05\/nih-official-finally-admits-american-taxpayers-funded-gain-of-function-virus-experiments-in-wuhan-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wuhan bat virus research<\/a>, the ability to slash funds for dangerous research should be viewed as a positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposed rules would also forbid spending federal funds on publication costs (e.g.,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/public-inspection.federalregister.gov\/2026-10817.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">journal publication fees<\/a>), which is a significant departure from longstanding practice and directly affects the dissemination of research funded by federal grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OMB is revising the section to make publication costs unallowable unless such costs are expressly required by statute or approved in advance by the Federal agency on a case-by-case basis. This change reflects OMB\u2019s objective to strengthen stewardship of Federal funds and ensure that Federal financial assistance is directed toward achieving the programmatic objectives of the award. Publication costs are not inherently necessary to carry out the core programmatic objectives of most Federal awards. In many cases, such activities are discretionary, vary widely in scope and costs, and may serve institutional, professional, or reputational interests rather than the specific objectives of the Federal program.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would argue that taxpayer monies have essentially allowed journals to become echo chambers of the preferred narratives. The \u201cold-fashioned\u201d way of publication funding may be part of the reason that so many sound scientific theories and data deviating from that presented as \u201ctrue science\u201d haven\u2019t been able to find their way into the scientific debate and discourse \u2014 which goes directly against the principles of the scientific method that is a bedrock of our modern era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new requirements also fold in a series of prior executive actions, including those restricting DEI programs and related institutional activities, effectively making them baseline conditions for receipt and management of federal funds. They also prohibit the funding of anything promoting gender ideology or the transitioning of minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the elite scientific community is in hysteria. This passage from&nbsp;<em>Nature<\/em>&nbsp;is an example of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-026-01779-z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">caterwauling on the subject<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many comments were from prominent researchers, such as leading oceanographer Dawn Wright, chief scientist of Esri, a global company specializing in geographic information system software, in Redlands, California, who wrote that the proposal \u201cis dangerous and absolutely politicizes science\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suzanne Segerstrom, a biostatistician at Oregon State University in Corvallis, wrote: \u201cThis regulation harms taxpayers, harms Americans\u2019 health, and contravenes federal policy. I am in strong opposition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026The proposal is a \u201cbrazen power grab by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and will make future discoveries less likely\u201d, said Sudip Parikh, the chief executive officer of scientific society American Association for the Advancement of Science, in a statement. The American Society for Cell Biology described it as a \u201cmassive threat to American science\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NPR pushes the idea of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2026\/06\/03\/nx-s1-5844678\/trump-science-funding-omb-budget-office-rule-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">peer review<\/a>\u201d as the great protector of The Science<strong>\u2122<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the post-World War II period, the U.S. scientific community has relied heavily on a system of peer review to offer feedback on studies and maintain integrity in research. The same has been true for federal science agencies when evaluating proposals for research funding. Typically, agencies adopt recommendations from independent advisory committees on issues including vaccine schedules, environmental standards, or census methodology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While not legally binding, peer review in practice has been enormously influential and become part of the norms of government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u200aWhile it\u2019s been true that peer review panels have always been treated as advisory by agencies, it was usually the combination of peer review with a non-political career expert at an agency that made the determination of whether to issue an award or not,\u201d said Donovan.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However there has been a cascade of fraudulent,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/legalinsurrection.com\/2025\/09\/paper-mills-sham-journals-and-stolen-reputation-fraud-and-greed-are-poisoning-science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI-slop science papers<\/a>&nbsp;that have been \u201cpeer reviewed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, back in 2024, researchers created a fake eye disease called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/legalinsurrection.com\/2026\/04\/bixonimania-how-ai-turned-a-joke-diagnosis-into-peer-reviewed-medicine\/\">bixonimania<\/a>\u201d to see whether AI chatbots would repeat it as if it were real. Not only was that fake disease diagnosed, but it made it into \u201cpeer reviewed\u201d journals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, there was the Dr. Anthony Fauci-led paper, also \u201cpeer reviewed,\u201d about the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/legalinsurrection.com\/2026\/05\/cia-covid-whistleblower-dr-faucis-role-in-the-cover-up-was-intentional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supposed \u201cnatural\u201d origins<\/a>&nbsp;of the covid virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The status quo the OMB seeks to reform carries its own serious credibility crisis: a peer review system increasingly compromised by paper mills, AI-generated fabrications, replication failures, and institutionally captured journals that have helped erode public trust in science to historic lows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decades-old model of government-funded, peer-reviewed science has proven it is not self-correcting; it has required outside pressure to even acknowledge glaring failures like gain-of-function funding and narrative-driven publication practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imperfect reform is not the same as wrong reform; the far greater risk lies in defending a broken system simply because dismantling it is uncomfortable for those who have long thrived within it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laughably, unhappy scientists complain proposed grant system overhaul could politicize research funding \u2014 as if that weren\u2019t already happening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121246920,"featured_media":449175,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[691843551,691833452,691843140,691834139,691833266],"class_list":["post-449173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-nsf","tag-office-of-management-and-budget-omb","tag-peer-reviewed-science","tag-u-s-national-institutes-of-health-nih","tag-u-s-national-science-foundation-nsf","fallback-thumbnail"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paxLW1-1SQJ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":365905,"url":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?p=365905","url_meta":{"origin":449173,"position":0},"title":"Teardrops at the National Science Foundation","author":"uwe.roland.gross","date":"02\/12\/2025","format":false,"excerpt":"WTF is a \u201chigher education lobbyist?\u201d And who pays his or her salary?
