Federal Research Grants: OMB Should Take Steps to Establish the Research Policy Board

Abstract

Federally funded research projects play a key role in advancing science and innovation in the United States. In fiscal year 2020, the Trump Administration requested $139 billion for research and development funding. In accordance with laws, regulations, and policy guidance, agencies must implement a variety of administrative requirements that allow for oversight of federal research funding. Some requirements were established or strengthened in response to cases of researchers improperly spending funds or out of concerns about the integrity of the research being conducted. Others were established to meet broader policy objectives, such as increasing access to research data and results.
