OMB Proposal Threatens to Extend Federal Funding Cuts Beyond Scientific Research to States, Cities, and Nonprofits
By
Judy Stone
Summary
The article discusses how the Trump administration's cuts to scientific research grants, framed as eliminating "wasteful" or "woke" spending, are being extended through a new Office of Management and Budget proposal (rule "2 CFR Part 200"). This proposal threatens to cut all federal funding for states, cities, and nonprofits — not just scientific research — and seeks to codify these changes into regulations. The piece argues this politicizes all federal funding and urges readers to contact their representatives in opposition.
