RWJF's Health Equity Research for Action puts up ~20 grants of up to $500,000 — but demands a two-year community partnership and a community co-PI. Here's the strategy, set against the brightest foundation-giving outlook since 2022.
Read articleThe May 29, 2026 OMB proposed rewrite of 2 CFR 200 is being read primarily as a cost-principles document. The structural change that will reshape how federal grants get decided is proposed §200.205, which requires senior political appointees to conduct a pre-issuance review of all discretionary awards — and the companion provision that makes peer-review recommendations 'advisory only' and not binding on agency decision-makers. The combined effect is the subordination of merit review to political review across NSF, NIH, DOE, USDA, and every other agency that runs peer-reviewed grant competitions. Why this is structurally different from prior administrations' political influence, what the 45-day comment window means for affected institutions, and the strategy for applicants whose proposals will be reviewed under the new framework starting October 1, 2026.
Read articleThe headlines on OMB's May 29 rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 have focused on §200.205's political pre-issuance review. The structurally larger change is a single sentence in §200.205(d) that says peer review recommendations 'remain advisory and are not ministerially ratified' by the federal agency. That language demotes the peer-review-driven funding model that has defined the NIH, NSF, NEH, and DOE Office of Science research portfolios for fifty years to one input among several — replacing a presumption that scored panels drive funding decisions with a presumption that political appointees do. Comment deadline July 13, effective October 1.
