Hmm how will university budget models make this work, especially if it is going into effect for current grants next week?
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.

It's a frigid but otherwise lovely winter day here @UDelaware where we are gearing up to host the 2025 Mid-Atlantic Synthetic Biology Network Symposium. A big welcome to our 230 attendees, and a big thank you to our sponsors NSF, DBI, IFF, NIIMBL, & more #synbio

@zakir_tnimov Glad you liked our work, thanks for the kind words! 🙏🏾 Just to clarify, so far the exclusive reliance we've built is only unidirectional. When we demonstrated mutualism the other direction wasn't exclusive. Still, it's not hard to imagine how it could be a mutual & exclusive lock
