The 22 state AGs note that in 2017, Trump proposed a similar across-the-board rate cut, but Congress rejected it.
In 2018 & every year since, Congress has enacted an appropriations rider forbidding NIH from pursuing an across-the-board rate cut.
Case 1:25-cv-10338 Document 1 Filed 02/10/25 Page 4 of 59 6. In 2017, during his first administration, President Trump made a budget proposal that would have reduced the indirect cost rate for research institutions to an across-the-board, categorical rate of 10%. Congress unequivocally responded to ward off such a change to the calculation of indirect cost rates. In 2018, Congress enacted an appropriations rider prohibiting HHS or NIH from spending appropriated funds "to develop or implement a modified approach to" the reimbursement of "indirect costs" and "deviations from negotiated rates." Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-141, 132 Stat 348, § 226. That rider has remained in effect through every appropriations law governing HHS to this day. See Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, Pub. L. No. 118-47, § 224. 7. On February 7, 2025, NIH nonetheless issued a guidance document pronouncing that all indirect cost rates for NIH grants would be reduced to 15%, in Notice Number NOT- OD-25-068, Supplemental Guidance to the 2024 NIH Grants Policy Statement: Indirect Cost Rates (the "Rate Change Notice"). This reduction applies not only to new grants but to existing grants, and becomes effective on February 10, 2025, just one business day after the Rate Change Notice issued.
