Act Now: Comments to the OMB Proposal

U.S. science funding is under the most significant threat in decades. A proposed OMB rule (published May 29, 2026) would allow political appointees to terminate active grants, override peer review, and impose restrictions on international collaboration, publications, and conference attendance. These actions will have direct consequences for psychological science, its researchers, and the next generation of scientists. The public comment period for this rule ended on July 13.

Other news in U.S. science policy includes caps on U.S. student visas to 4 years, requiring students to renew for periods beyond this. APS continues to monitor developing science policy news and act to preserve the integrity and independence of science around the world.
