NEW: Trump actions on science may affect a generation as pauses + cuts in graduate admissions begin. “We had just flown them out, we told them we love you, we want to admit you, and then everything just stopped." "It's freezing everybody into inaction."

Graduate student admissions paused and cut back as universities react to Trump orders on research
In response to Trump science policies, universities are accepting fewer graduate students than normal and freezing positions, STAT has learned.

Trump Administration Cuts Put Medical Progress at Risk, Researchers Say
Grants from the National Institutes of Health come with additional money for overhead. A planned $4 billion cut would leave colleges with large budget gaps.

6. If Trump is able to make this stick starting Monday, it will have a sudden and devastating effect on universities. In the long run setting a 58% indirect rate or inflating grant budgets could re-equilibrate, if Trump doesn’t destroy NIH entirely. But the short term effects will be massive.

On reflection, some analysis of the Trump NIH funding cuts tonight.
1. The indirect rates are unequal. But they’re not very unequal. Harvard 69%, Wayne State 55%, Texas A&M 54%, Vanderbilt 58%. Some of this variation is justified based on cost-of-living in different places.
