This administration working to kill science and education. UVM alone reports $49M NIH funding with $13.5M in indirect costs in 2024. This isn't about saving money; it's a culture war. Project 2025, page 355: "...help reduce federal taxpayer subsidization of leftist agendas." tinyurl.com/bs3eh2dp
The NIH’s drastic cut to indirect cost rates is a critical threat to U.S. research infrastructure
The drastic reduction in indirect costs is not a path to innovation or cost savings — it’s a threat to U.S.’s position as global leader in medical research.

“Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”
