[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So can someone please explain the IMPACT this will have on T-100 colleges and universities in the short-term (2025-2030)? Assuming a sharp and massive decrease in federal funding per Musk/Project 2025: - What will change on the ground at these schools in the next year, in the next five years? How exactly will it affect applicants and undergraduate students? - Which schools (or types of schools) are likely to be the relative “winners,” and who are likely to be the relative “losers”? (Assume I have no personal experience with either federally-funded research or college/university budgets. Because I don’t. 😂 But I do have kids applying to college in 2026 and 2029 and am having trouble getting my head around the short-term implications for them. Thanks![/quote] I have PhD in STEM field and have been a college professor and funding program manager. Most of these grants should be contracts as OIs need to be more responsible for the results. Second, I support overheard or indirect cost cap of 15%. The amount of wastage I see on the name of overhead costs is crazy. My experience is that PI receives only 1/3 of every $ spent by federal Govt and he/she has to manage everything from hiring Grad students to equipment, etc from these $s. Universities need to put more skin in the game because they get to keep all the instruments and everything else once funding is done. [/quote] My spouse is directly involved with the budget at a major academic medical center and your experience is too limited. Even at current overhead reimbursement rates, they break even or lose money on research. This is going to result in layoffs and less research period.[/quote]
