Americans, this is truly important and you can help. It doesn’t matter if this administration “cares”, your personal comments can strengthen lawsuits if they pass this rule despite strong feedback. Do you or a loved one have a medical diagnosis that needs further research and treatment options? Are you concerned about how climate change and associated environmental issues will impact you or your children without scientific innovation and solutions? Do you want evidence-based solutions to social issues like homelessness, violence, crime, etc? Then you need to submit a comment opposing the proposed Project 2025 Federal Grantmaking rule change that would take power from scientists and peer-review into political hands, every bit of scientific research that didn’t fit what Far-Right Conservatives want to pretend to be true. They can deny grants if they don’t like the topic, they can withdraw approval if the results and evidence don’t support want they want it to. Science must be objective or it is worthless, and the whole world depends on American scientific infrastructure.
It doesn’t have to be a long comment. As long as it’s personal and says why you care about science and how it impacts you, it’s helpful. We have 14 days. (Most personal information is also not required, you can just give an email and a general location even just a state).
