Summary: The commenter opposes the proposed changes to the project review process for grants, arguing that it will harm the U.S. economy and undermine scientific innovation. They advocate for maintaining impartial blind reviews of proposals and urge the agency to rescind the new rules.
The efforts to change project review for grants will have a devastating effect on the U.S. economy. The U.S. has led the world in scientific innovation for that last century and those gains will be erased if the proposed new rules are allowed to be implemented. Scientific inquiry requires the scientific method, including impartial blind review of proposals. I urge you to rescind these proposed new rules.
