#Trump’s #OMB rule won’t destroy #American #science. It will RESCUE #taxpayer-funded #research. Washington’s grant-industrial complex has discovered a new theory: Once #Congress appropriates $money, UNELECTED reviewers and recipients, and NOT executive officials accountable for administering the #law, should control where it goes. That is the premise behind a letter written by #Senate #Democrats demanding that the Office of Management and Budget withdraw its governmentwide grant REFORMS. The panic gets the rule backward. At its core, OMB’s proposal to Part 200 is simple: make #federal #grants MORE ACCOUNTABLE to taxpayers, by tightening oversight, rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse, protecting national interests, and ensuring public money advances the purposes Congress actually authorized. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/4670756/omb-rule-science-research-grants/
