Indirect costs = the costs of keeping a university running. Heating and lighting it, the library, the IT department, HR, cleaning etc. The actual costs are perhaps 50-100% of the direct costs of research. This is a pillow on the face of academic research in USA.
NIH cuts indirect rates on grants to 15%.

This will be the end of American excellence in science.

Universities will struggle and many (likely most) will terminate their research programs.

Independent research institutions will not be able to survive this.
