Proposed new US funding rules: We can cancel any grant at any time

AI justification

Political interference in science funding undermines global research integrity and human rights. | The proposed rules undermine scientific integrity by removing peer review and enabling arbitrary grant cancellations, directly violating academic freedom and the right to benefit from scientific progress. This represents a severe regression in institutional support for research, education, and evidence-based policymaking, with potential long-term damage to innovation and public trust in science.
