@joshuasweitz.bsky.socialReposted by @c4lifesciences.bsky.socialComments due by 10/13.
Comments provide the paper trail that may slow down implementation near-term and reverse decisions in the long-run. Although researchers are likely to provide context on impact, anyone (from the public to patient advocates) can weigh in.
@c4lifesciences.bsky.socialWhat makes comments significant:
1. The number of independent voices
2. Specific, evidence-based arguments
3. Consistent messages without copy-paste flooding

@c4lifesciences.bsky.socialRFI comments DO matter! OMB’s proposed research funding rules drew nearly 497,000 public comments. Congress later delayed implementation through Dec. 11, 2026. Comments alone may not have caused this, but they help put concerns on the record and shape science policy. Make your voice heard!
@c4lifesciences.bsky.socialScientists, researchers, the NIH wants to change how your grants are reviewed and how outcomes are reported. Today is the last day to let them know what you think about their proposal. Go to grants.nih.gov/grants/guide... to learn more and to leave your comment!

@c4lifesciences.bsky.socialIn all seriousness, the NIH is proposing to change how research grants get reviewed and thus how funding gets distributed. The scientific community deserves to have their voice heard and this is your chance. Comment here: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...
@c4lifesciences.bsky.socialThe deadline is approaching! NIH is proposing changes to how peer review is used in funding decisions and how outcomes are reported and they want to hear from you. Comments are due by October 13! Comment here: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

@c4lifesciences.bsky.socialGo to www.nsf.gov/about/about-... to find NSF funded projects near you and share them with friends, family, and neighbors!
@c4lifesciences.bsky.social$1.4 billion in research funding was redirected from the NSF in the latest move by the Trump administration to reshape how federal research dollars are allocated. Use the link below to share the importance of science funding!
@c4lifesciences.bsky.socialScientific integrity may be at stake.
Federal agencies are removing explicit protections against political interference from their scientific-integrity policies. Go to live.cicerodata.com to find your elected officials and make your voice heard. It takes just FIVE minutes! You can do it!
@c4lifesciences.bsky.socialWhat happens when more NIH funding is committed to existing grants?
