Join us on Tuesday, July 28 at 2:00 PM EDT for panel discussion to talk about next steps for pushing back on the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) proposed rule on Federal Financial Assistance. 

With the closing of the comment period, the scientific community needs to pivot toward educating Congress on the broad, sweeping changes that this rule would have on how research grants would be regulated - outside the knowledge, skills, and expertise of the very agencies empowered by Congress to oversee them - and how these changes will impact the basic and biomedical research, jobs and state and local economies supported by researchers at the universities. 

During this discussion, panelists will:

• Explain what happens next in the federal rulemaking process.
• Share practical strategies for communicating with your elected officials.
• Discuss how to connect the impact of this proposal to your local community, institution, and research programs.

Register now for this critical next step in advocating for the protection of the scientific research enterprise and how you can get involved while your elected officials are home in the state and district for the August Recess period.

Panelists:

Ellon Kuo, FASEB Associate Director of Legislative Affairs
Karen G. Fleming, BPS President
Ronnie Ghose, BPS Public Affairs Committee Chair
Scott Showalter, BPS Member and Member of the Public Affairs Committee
Leann Fox, BPS Director of Advocacy and Public Affairs
