- Jul 13, 2026Metis Group Inc.SupportBusiness
Ivana Karina Harrington, President of Metis Group Inc., supports the proposed regulation but requests specific clarifications regarding payment timing. She argues that recipients should not be held liable for interest or "minimize-cash-on-hand" obligations during delays caused by the agency's suspension authority or review processes.
Read comment → - Jul 13, 2026East Bay Pediatric Journal CLubOpposeOther
A group of pediatricians opposes the proposed regulation, arguing that it allows partisan politics to interfere with scientific research funding and priorities. They advocate for research decisions to be made by medical and scientific experts rather than political entities.
Read comment → - Jul 13, 2026CAREOpposeIndividual
A high school student opposes the proposed regulation because they believe the advocacy prohibition would restrict their ability to organize fundraisers and advocate for a non-profit organization that aids people in poverty. They argue the rule could hinder community education and the ability of student groups to seek external funding for their goals.
Read comment → - Jul 13, 2026UAW Local 4100OpposeUnion
UAW Local 4100, representing postdoctoral researchers, opposes the proposed rule change because it threatens research stability, allows political appointees to override peer review, and restricts the ability of scientists to share research and collaborate internationally. They argue these changes undermine the scientific enterprise by prioritizing political control over scientific merit and transparency.
Read comment → - Jul 13, 2026Metis Group IncOpposeBusiness
Ivana Karina Harrington, President of Metis Group Inc., opposes the immediate reclassification of Subtitle A as binding regulation without a transition period. She argues that this approach creates avoidable noncompliance for existing multi-year awards and recommends applying new requirements prospectively with a defined grace period.
Read comment → - Jul 13, 2026Metis Group IncOpposeBusiness
Ivana Karina Harrington, President of Metis Group Inc., opposes the requirement for prior written approval for fundraising and investment-management costs. She argues that this adds unnecessary administrative burdens and delays routine activities, suggesting instead that the agency use documentation standards or a deemed-approval timeline.
