This is a very helpful thread re: the slashing of overhead rates on NIH grants. It is an atrocity and, as OP states, an attempt to decimate higher ed. This guidance goes into effect immediately, affecting not only future but also current grants, which is to say current university budgets.
1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.
