NIH freezes all research grants to Columbia University Amid negotiations with Trump, the university could risk losing nearly $700 million

Exclusive: Weeks after President Donald Trump’s administration ordered NIH to pull $250 million in biomedical research grants to Columbia University, the agency is freezing all remaining grant money owed to the university until further notice. scim.ag/4if5Rg1

…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 wouldn’t be any left for science. It’s 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 support…

BREAKING: 22 states sue NIH over Trump administration's new 15% cap on overhead for federal research grants. Suit filed federal court in Boston contends lifesaving research 'will grind to a halt' under the policy. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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.
