Summary: The commenter opposes the proposed rulings, arguing that they dismantle the pillars of independent science—peer review, open competition, and institutional anonymity. They contend that the proposal allows for political control over the science funding lifecycle and prioritizes political agendas over scientific needs.
" Federal dollars should fund the most progressive science determined by independent scientific experts rather than politicians. Peer review, open competition, and institutional anonymity are pillars of this system.These proposed rulings dismantle all three. This is not a reform of grants management , but complete political control over every stage of the science funding lifecycle. These new proposed rulings would prioritize political agenda over scientific need and act as political control over science."
