β¦if these things (and there are so many more included in the indirects umbrella) had to be attributed to each and every grant as their own line item, max for direct costs would have to increase accordingly, or, there just wouldnβt be any left for science. Itβs complex, this is super high level.

The F&A/overhead/indirects cover things that cannot be charged to grant budgets as direct costs. The staff in the central office reviews and submits applications, and also manages them post-funding. Lab maintenance, subsidizing use of cores for the science, electricity, IT supportβ¦

NOT-OD-25-068: Supplemental Guidance to the 2024 NIH Grants Policy Statement: Indirect Cost Rates
NIH Funding Opportunities and Notices in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts: Supplemental Guidance to the 2024 NIH Grants Policy Statement: Indirect Cost Rates NOT-OD-25-068. OD
NIH cuts indirect rates on grants to 15%.
This will be the end of American excellence in science.
Universities will struggle and many (likely most) will terminate their research programs.
Independent research institutions will not be able to survive this.
