Act Now: Submit Your Comment to the OMB Proposal

Federal science funding is under the most significant threat in decades — and the window to act closes July 13. 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.

APS has put together a detailed guide to help you submit a public comment on the proposed OMB rule. Public comments submitted become part of the official record that OMB must consider before finalizing the rule, and comments from individual researchers carry real weight.

Check out our Act Now page for more information.
