This is such an incredible explainer of Indirect Funding!

💡 Some takeaways:

🧬 The federal science funding landscape in America was created after the US economy, security, and health by partnering with universities that would conduct research for the government.

🧵
Still wondering how Indirect Funding (F&A) works, and why it's so important for research institutions? Check out this great video from the Association of American Universities:

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.

But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
Direct Economic Contributions
NIH directly supports the economy through investments in research institutions and job formation.
