AAAS

AAAS submitted comments on the OMB proposed rule on federal grantmaking, highlighting overemphasis on political objectives in scientific priority setting & deprioritization of scientific opportunity, peer review and the needs of Americans. Read the comment bit.ly/4w6O8PE

“We are patriots not because America or American science are perfect, but because we share the founders’ aspirations for something even greater, and we have the agency to make it so. The story of America and American science is still being written.” aaas.org/news/american-…

AAAS CEO @sudipsparikh reflects on 250 years of American science: what we've built, where we've fallen short, and why this moment calls on all of us to keep writing the story: aaas.org/news/american-…

The steep reductions proposed by the U.S. administration for federal R&D funding for FY26 did not happen thanks to bipartisan champions in Congress. Many organizations, including @AAAS, emphasized how detrimental it would be to our nation to gut this funding. (1/3)

Read the full report from @AlessZimm, project director of the AAAS R&D Budget and Policy Program: aaas.org/news/fy-2026-r…

With FY26 federal appropriations bills now signed into law, the R&D funding outlook is brighter than initially feared. Compared to the drastic cuts that were proposed in the spring, the bills show some increases, flat funding, or relatively small reductions for R&D.
