Summary: The commenter opposes the proposed changes to the National Science Foundation's Proposal/Award Information Guidance, arguing that the modifications will undermine the NSF's mission, compromise national security, and harm economic prosperity. They claim the changes will introduce biases and unscientific methodologies into the innovation process.
The proposed changes will actually act in direct opposition to NSF’s mission to “promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense...."
NSF’s structure and protocols up until early 2025 are responsible for the United States being the leading economic power in the world and the proposed changes will allow biases, unscientific methodologies, and ignorance to corrupt this machine of innovation and prosperity.
Allowing the proposed changes will be a willful choice to hobble our economic prosperity for years to come, will risk our national security, will degrade the health of our citizens, and rapidly decline our standing in the world to one of mediocrity. Reject the proposed changes or choose less.
