Inside the Battle Over OMB’s Shocking Proposed Rule Changes: How Top US Chefs Are Fighting Back on Research Funding
“On May 29, 2026 the White House Office of Management and Budget released a proposed rule, Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance, revising the entirety of federal grantmaking and federal cooperative agreements in the United States.
Proposed new rules for federal financial assistance, including research grants from the National Science Foundation, would significantly reshape how research and education in the mathematical sciences are funded, conducted, and communicated. These proposed changes are alarming and would negatively impact the United States’ mathematics research infrastructure that has been built over decades. Because of the significance of these changes in how grant proposals are reviewed, awarded, and how awards can be terminated, we ask AMS members to review these proposed changes and then consider taking a few minutes to file public comments on or before the deadline of July 13, 2026.
