@ZKForTre No one who actually understands how this all works is celebrating unless its a grift. Even those who wanted reform agree this is an egregious approach. Wild times

One of the most well-reasoned takes on these cuts I have seen
This is a huge deal. “Indirect costs”, as they’re called, from NIH still pay for direct science — eg, funding science labs, lab upkeep — but also university administration. Cutting this line item by billions of dollars is going to threaten university jobs but also potentially cut into science lab funding. There are absolutely controversies/concerns about wasteful indirect cost allocation. But it’s hard to imagine a cut this deep not affecting science labs directly. This is just not where I’d start cutting billions. Universities (including those that don’t have $10b endowments) are gonna scream, and I’d guess we’re gonna hear about extremely worthy programs relying on labs being endangered.

@spjuraschek I am really worried about cuts to grants offices, IT, library subs, core facilities, and us potentially having to budget in things we normally dont think about like utilities and so forth in the future. Too drastic of a change to implement immediately

@Daviorthesavior @DrAlliNorlander 1) The negotiations surrounding indirect rate are also "fixed" 2) Even assuming more grants get funded, what about grants office staff, core facilities, utilities, library 2) Even if you agree F&A rates need to come down, it should be phased. This will hurt labs now

@SarahDeemerPhD @AJPRegu @CulverMeral Yeah we definitely set up a time. It was a real bummer they went out of business. I was hoping to use them for years to come. We bought the Actigraph LEAP for the new lab @ IU

☺️☺️☺️ This is part of what makes Freeman' success so awesome.
“I want to be in an environment where I have the resources to win a national championship,” Brian Kelly said in April 2022 after leaving Notre Dame for LSU. Notre Dame will play for a national championship in 11 days. LSU has not made the CFP since Kelly took over.
