Indirect Costs at NIH . . . I wasnโ€™t planning on spending part of a Saturday writing about cost accounting principles and the like, but NIH-world was hit with a doozy of a policy announcement on Friday night:

Short version: it's (currently) illegal for NIH to do what they did. A helpful deeper dive.

Childrenโ€™s Hospital of Pennsylvania has indirect rate of 70%, but they probably didnโ€™t want to list that atop Harvard because defunding a childrenโ€™s hospital might be perceived as problematic.

This is devastating

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

This is huge. I'm not being hyperbolic. The impacts this will have on universities, medical centers, research institutions, and, overall, the US scientific enterprise that makes the US a science leader worldwide are tremendous.

President Trump issued an executive order to find out what education funds he can legally rescind based on curriculum he doesnโ€™t like. Existing law already answers that question โ€”nothing.

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual.

The best thing about teaching is learning. I love revisiting the literature in an area and realizing there is something new and interesting or even something old that I missed or overlooked. Teaching is an excellent way to make sure that you spend your whole life learning.

โ€˜Never seen anything like thisโ€™: Trumpโ€™s team halts NIH meetings and travel In an unprecedented move, research-grant reviews have been suspended indefinitely at the worldโ€™s largest public funder of biomedical research.

Sad to see webpages of NIH diversity supplements taken down. I know this was suspected to happen, but itโ€™s heartbreaking to see.
