OMB Proposes Revisions to Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance
|
On May 29, 2026, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), along with over 40 federal agencies, released a package of proposed draft revisions to the Uniform Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance located in Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR).
The proposed changes, if implemented, will substantially impact all Stony Brook researchers, and have a planned implementation date of October 1, 2026. It would affect how funding agencies develop new opportunities (including requiring that they align with administration priorities), require that agencies have senior appointees review proposals (including for alignment with Gold Standard Science), create restrictions on foreign collaborations, enable agencies to terminate awards at their discretion, disallow or restrict previously allowable costs (including of publications, conferences, and society memberships), and require that awards not be used to promote practices that violate anti-discrimination laws, among many other proposed changes.
We encourage you to respond to the OMB individually with comments that describe how your work would be impacted by the proposed revisions. To assist you, we have created a sheet of helpful tips for individual responses. Note that individual responses should not be submitted on behalf of Stony Brook University. Individual responses can be submitted to OMB through the government’s regulations website by July 13, 2026.
Additionally, the Stony Brook Office for Research and Innovation is also collecting feedback using a survey to more specifically understand the potential impacts of these proposed changes. Your perspective through the examples you provide is essential for enabling Stony Brook to understand how these changes will affect our research community. We are particularly interested in collecting specific examples of how these changes would impact your work.
Deadline for contributing to OR&I’s survey: Internal comments to the Office for Research and Innovation are due through this survey by June 22, 2026 at 11:59 pm ET.
Deadline for submitting an individual response to OMB: Anyone who is interested in responding directly to OMB’s proposed changes as an individual may do so following instructions in the helpful tips document by July 13, 2026 at 11:59 pm ET.

2026 Thomas Hartman Center for Parkinson's Research |
Sponsor: Thomas Hartman Center for Parkinson’s Research in the Department of Neurobiology & Behavior
Description: This year, the Center will accept applications for three Seed Awards (up to $25,000 each) to support research into the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease. These awards are intended to fund innovative, high-risk/high-reward projects that generate the preliminary data needed to compete for larger extramural funding. We encourage applications addressing mechanisms of disease across all levels of analysis — molecular, cellular, circuit, and systems — and welcome projects focused on either motor symptoms or non-motor symptoms (cognitive impairment, autonomic dysfunction, sleep disturbances, and neuropsychiatric manifestations). Projects employing novel experimental approaches, model systems, or conceptual frameworks are particularly encouraged. Interdisciplinary proposals that bridge multiple levels of analysis or integrate clinical and basic science perspectives are also welcome.
Deadline: June 22, 2026

Active Limited Competitions and Canvasses |
|
|
|
Recent Federal Executive Orders and other federal actions affecting federally funded research have resulted in changes to some federal funding opportunities. Consequently, we may need to update our posted limited competitions to remain aligned with these ongoing adjustments. We encourage you to check our website regularly for the latest updates, in addition to canvass and internal competition details and instructions.

Engineering Biological and Biomedical Systems
Sponsor: NSF
Keyword(s): Biomedical Engineering, Physiology, Biotechnology, Biosensing, Imaging
Description: The Engineering Biological and Biomedical Systems (EBBS) program expands our understanding of biological and physiological systems, and it helps improve human health. For U.S. leadership in biotechnology, the engineering of biology is required at every scale. Engineering is needed for sensing biomarkers to making proteins to restoring functions of the body. In EBBS, fundamental mechanistic insights are combined with experimental and computational techniques. This approach helps develop platforms, devices, organisms, tissues, and processes that bring new understanding and control of biological functions. EBBS supports studies of mechanisms that drive the behavior of microbial populations and cells, and of therapeutic cells and tissues. This includes discovering the underlying engineering principles that are needed to capture the responses of biological systems and bioreactors. It also includes the creation of novel biosensing platforms and new optical imaging and modulation strategies. Research that enables the design of biological systems to sense and respond to novel stimuli is welcome. Similarly, projects leading to insight into tissue changes or injury, and to systems that imitate or restore the functions of tissues or organs are encouraged.
Institutional Limit: No limit
PI Eligibility: No restrictions
Award: Not listed
Cost Share: Not required
Deadline(s): Full proposal accepted anytime
