The American Association of Endodontists has joined a broad coalition of scientific, medical, and research organizations in opposing a proposed Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rule<\/a> that would significantly alter how federally funded research is supported and administered.<\/p>\n

The coalition’s concerns center on provisions that would restrict allowable costs charged to federal research awards, including reimbursement for professional association membership dues, scientific journal subscriptions, conference participation and publication fees. These resources are essential to conducting high-quality research, sharing scientific discoveries and advancing evidence-based patient care. The proposal also would introduce new award review, monitoring and termination requirements that could increase administrative burden and create uncertainty for organizations that receive or administer federal research funding.<\/p>\n

AAE believes these changes could weaken the transparent, merit-based process that has long guided federally funded scientific research. As outlined by numerous scientific organizations, the proposed rule could diminish the role of independent peer review, introduce broad and subjective criteria for awarding or terminating grants and create uncertainty for researchers and institutions conducting long-term scientific investigations. Collectively, these changes risk slowing innovation, disrupting critical research programs and delaying scientific advances that improve patient care.<\/p>\n

For endodontics, sustained federal investment in biomedical and oral health research is essential to our advocacy priorities and strategic plan. Research supported by agencies such as the National Institutes of Health has fueled discoveries that strengthen clinical practice, expand scientific knowledge and enhance the care patients receive.<\/p>\n

By joining this coalition, AAE is advocating for policies that preserve independent scientific review, protect the integrity of federally funded research and ensure the continued advancement of evidence-based science. We will continue to monitor the proposed rule and keep members informed throughout the federal rulemaking process.<\/p>\n

If you are an endodontic educator or affiliated with an academic program, we encourage you to complete our brief survey. Your feedback will help AAE better understand how the proposed rule could affect research, education and training at your institution and strengthen our ongoing advocacy efforts.<\/p>\n
