Comment on OMB-2026-0034-0001

Summary: The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) opposes the proposed rule, arguing that it would hinder scientific discovery by restricting international collaboration and imposing burdensome administrative requirements on research funding. They specifically express concern over the "domestic-first" framework, the potential for political interference in merit-based reviews, and the restriction of allowable costs for conferences, memberships, and publications.
