White House plans to vet public grants for ‘American values’ spark broad alarm
article:
The Guardian
“The proposed federal legislation that will by-pass peer review of scientific
grant proposals in favor of political oversight, allow grants to be terminated
at any time, for any reason, and largely prevent the use of federal funds for
publishing, attending meetings, or collaborating internationally would be
another devastating blow to American science,” wrote Andy McCammon, a chemistry
research professor at the University of California San Diego and member of the
editorial board of the National Academy of Sciences.
