在2026年7月，白宮對美國聯邦研究資金進行了重大重組，旨在將重心從傳統的學術主導模式，轉向更具中央政治監督的體系。
Outlined in documents like "Science: The New Golden Age," the policy characterizes existing systems as "calcified" and suggests a need for fundamental change.
該政策在諸如《科學：新黃金時代》 等文件中概述，將現有體系描述為「鈣化」 的，並建議進行根本性的變革。
A key proposal from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) mandates that senior political appointees review and potentially terminate research grants, a move critics fear will politicize scientific inquiry.
管理與預算辦公室 (OMB) 的一項關鍵提案要求資深政治任命官員審查並可能終止研究補助金，批評者擔心此舉將使科學探究政治化。
These sweeping changes have sparked significant backlash from scientific communities and academic institutions, which warn that prioritizing political alignment over merit-based peer review could stifle innovation and weaken the nation’s foundational research capacity.
這些全面性的變革引發了科學界和學術機構的強烈反彈，他們警告稱，將政治立場置於績效導向的同儕審查之上，可能會扼殺創新並削弱國家基礎研究的能力。
