The FFDC Science and Society Working Group is encouraging individuals to respond to the Office of Management and Budget’s proposal to change the rules on Federal Funding: Docket OMB-2026-0034.

These shocking changes are not specific to scientific research but to every aspect of the government’s federal grants initiatives, i.e. Climate Change, Education, Mental Health Services, Arts Education, and more.

Your response may be typed directly online or pasted from your own original document into the comment section.  The site will ask for your email address in a box which will NOT be made public, and your first and last name which will if you choose “Individual."  There is also the possibility of submitting as Anonymous, but this carries far less weight.

FFDC will submit an organization response.

For information on exactly what to do, please reference this post and scroll down to "How To Submit a Public Comment."

Reminder: the deadline for response is 11:59pm on MONDAY, July 13, 2026.
