The ATS is expressing serious concern with a proposed rule issued by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that would have significant consequences for how federal research grants are reviewed, awarded, managed, and shared.

The ATS is especially concerned that the rule would weaken peer review, further politicize science, limit the dissemination of federally funded research, and create new barriers to scientific progress and patient health. “Federal research funding should be guided by scientific merit, rigorous and transparent peer review, and the urgent health needs of all patients and the public,” said ATS President Michelle Ng Gong, MD, MS, ATSF. “The federal government should be strengthening research policies that help prevent disease and save lives; not creating new obstacles for the scientists and clinicians working to advance public health.”

The ATS will submit formal comments opposing the proposed rule. Comments are due to OMB by Monday, July 13. Learn more: https://t.co/d37XiWvvhL
