Red alert: pick a college that will not be decimated by the NIH's reduction of indirect costs to 15%

The overhead goes to the universities as a whole. The university relies on it in its budget.

It supports overhead for biomedical research related activities and should not be supporting anything related to the undergraduate programs. NIH grants are primarily within the medical school.

The whole school is hurt. Professors often teach as well as do research. With less salary covered they need to cut other places including aid.

These grants largely go to the medical school and very few medical school faculty are involved with undergraduate teaching. The school that is hurt is the medical school.

It will affect all R1 and R2 universities. They are going to make the same change at NSF.

Colleges will be hurt. Those high on the list are going to be decimated. An immediated $100 million budget reduction.

Johns Hopkins, Penn, Michigan, UCLA, Berkeley, Wisconsin, etc.

The public schools are most at risk.

Are you dumb? Hopkins and Penn have extremely sizable endowments and can weather this easy.

That’s not really how endowments work. PI’s need this money to fund grad students, otherwise there’s a shortage of instructors. There’s a certain budget allocated towards faculty and it’s unlikely there’s budget space for funding grad students.

Even if this is true (it’s not), that would not help the hundreds of other universities affected, especially the public universities.

This isn't about med schools- most science departments including social science like psychology run by nih grants.. all the Chem, bio, etc..those indirect funds fund the university.the humanities obviously don't bring in the same amount if cash to universities

When funding is reduced, spending drops. The endowment draw was already set and what can be sustained.

Locally, this would have a big effect not only on Hopkins, but also UVA, UMD, VaTech, and Georgetown. Even William and Mary, which recently moved up to R1 status.

They shouldn’t have been overcharging the taxpayers in the first place.

They were not overcharging. Stop making things up.

Stop pretending that 30% or more for indirect costs isn’t overcharging.

They don’t even break even at 60 percent. You’re clearly a MAGA idiot.

MAGA keeps showing again and again that they are ignorant and gullible. No idea how things actually work and they trust the word of grifters like Musk and Trump as gospel while all the while it is Musk and Trump that are gearing up to steal from everyone. Frickin MAGA idiots.

You idiots think we should trust you after it’s been revealed that untold billions have been wasted on total nonsense. Sorry, but you are now in the world where you have to prove that your activities are useful before you get taxpayer money.

Calling Musk and Trump grifters when we know how much government subsidized garbage is occurring in academia alone? 🙄 Stunning lack of self awareness.

Endowments have earmarked general spending funds. There was even talk on here about how aid would be affected when it is separate. Bloomberg already donated enough to make financial aid fully covered by grants. People are literally stupid on here

I think if you can’t see how much money it would cost the university to fund the grad teaching faculty and their stipends, you really have little understanding of the rigid flexibility of big endowments. No, if these contracts are destroyed and grants are not created and funding dries up, you will see significant issues at these schools who’ve historically relied on their stem faculty to fund stipend pay through grants.

Financial aid is not the same money pot for faculty pay. I’m surprised this has to be mentioned at all. I’m questioning your experience with higher Ed in general.
