Submit a public comment to help save lifesaving scientific research.

A chemist from the Environmental Protection Agency carries out tests to identify and categorize different household hazardous wastes.
The Trump administration’s Office of Management and Budget announced a disastrous proposal, called the Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance, that would jeopardize $1 trillion in federal funding for lifesaving environmental and public health research.
This proposal would give President Trump’s hand-chosen officials total power over who receives federal grants, allowing them to cancel grants at any time if they don’t fit their agenda, ban climate research, and control what scientists can tell the public about their findings.
Their scheme would slow or halt research that helps communities better prepare for climate-fueled extreme weather, delay new treatments for diseases like cancer and diabetes, disrupt clinical trials that patients rely on for care, and so much more.
Science should be left to scientific experts, not politicians. The administration is accepting public comments about their catastrophic plan — but only until July 13.
