Policy & Advocacy

FASEB, a GSA policy partner, will participate in multiple events this month to bring examples of federally funded science directly to Capitol Hill and demonstrate the role sustained research investment plays in scientific discovery

GSA members are welcome to attend this free webinar from our policy partner, Research!America. Participants will discuss issues ranging from training-grant funding to changes in educational policy.

Research!America, a GSA advocacy partner, released a statement welcoming the delay to a proposed OMB rule, stating that the rule "would undermine key priorities of the American people: safety, security, prosperity, and progress."

GSA shared serious concerns regarding the proposed changes to Uniform Guidance, which, if enacted, will irrevocably damage scientific integrity, progress, and the strength of the U.S. research enterprise.

Research!America, a GSA policy partner, released a statement calling for Congress to pass a Continuing Resolution that would delay an OMB rule on federal research grants.

The White House has released a new government-wide policy enacting restrictions on life science research in the following categories: Dangerous Gain of Function Research (DGOF) and International Research of Concern (IROC).

The decision could have significant implications for ongoing litigation involving NIH and other federal research grants and reinforces concerns about research stability in the US.

The debate over the proposed Uniform Guidance revisions—and particularly their potential effects on peer review, negotiated indirect cost rates, and research grant administration—emerged as one of the central issues of the hearing

A renowned evolutionary biologist and science communicator, Shubin's vision for NASEM supports basic and applied fields, emphasizes its advisory role to decision-makers, and looks to increase public outreach.

NIH argues that redistributing funding currently concentrated among a small number of highly-funded PIs would broaden the geographic and institutional distribution of funding, expand opportunities for early-stage and mid-career researchers, and improve mentoring, rigor, and reproducibility.
