@arpitrage @AJHolmgren @anup_malani Ah! I agree, float researchers until the issue is settled in court (likely against the administration)

@AJHolmgren @anup_malani @arpitrage Unfortunately, I suspect if universities are required to cross-subsidize we will have suboptimal amounts invested in research and at fewer institutions - even if they theoretically have the $$

Growth in the number of federal regulations on universities over time
It's entirely reasonable to both think university indirect rates are too high and a 15% ceiling is too low We want universities to be transparent and efficient But if they have to subsidize the research enterprise, it won't happen at most institutions

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.
