I strongly oppose the NSF’s proposed policy changes.
Putting political appointees over peer review, restricting international collaboration, and limiting researchers’ ability to communicate and publish would undermine scientific independence, academic freedom, and public trust.
NSF should withdraw these changes and protect the integrity of American science.
Thank you,
