"An open letter from staff to their own agency’s director is atypical—but, National Institute of General Medical Sciences research fellow Ian Morgan says, staffers have tried fruitlessly to reach Bhattacharya through more conventional routes."

Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.
6. The policy does not just affect funding going forward. All existing NIH grants will have their indirect rates cut to 15% as of today, the date of issuance.
For a large university, this creates a sudden and catastrophic shortfall of hundreds of millions of dollars against already budgeted funds.
