On July 9, 2026, the EMGS submitted comments in response to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Proposed Rule, Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance, (Uniform Guidance). Our comments stated that most EMGS members, including those employed in government agencies and U.S. universities, are dependent on U.S. Government funding for their research, and for this reason we believe OMB-2026-0034 would substantially undermine the work of our society.

Yesterday afternoon, following our Board of Directors review and approval, FASEB submitted comments on the Office of Management and Budget Docket Number OMB-2026-0034, Uniform Guidance (hubs.ly/Q04p3bMl0). With 4 and a half days left, we urge all stakeholders to submit your comments. Together, we can explain how and why the proposed rule would negatively impact science, US taxpayers, scientists, institutions, and scholarly societies. To make this easy for you, don’t forget our freely available tool crafts a draft response you should customize, making it easier than ever to send a message: Defend Research | FASEB (hubs.ly/Q04p30Cx0).

EMGS is pleased to announce that the impact factor of our journal, Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, has increased to 2.7, a 17% rise from 2024! This growth demonstrates EMM's reach and international influence, with over 150K article reads across 111 countries! As a society journal, EMM is committed to publishing high-quality original research, reviews, and commentaries across six core areas of DNA damage, mutagenesis, DNA repair, genetic and epigenetic factors, advanced technologies, and public/environmental health. We attract a diverse scientific audience, including those in biology, chemistry, and medicine, focused on public health research and policy. Read EMM: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/109822…
