The report 2022 contains an analysis of 82 universities, the indirect cost rate that you receive from federal grants, and the indirect cost rate that you receive from private donors such as the Sloan Foundation, the Gates Foundation and the Chan Zuckerberg initiative. Ten of the Heritage Foundation Analysis schools did not confirm their indirect costs for private donors and left 72 complete entries in the analysis of the report.
Of these 72 universities, the report claimed that 67 private research scholarships with an indirect research cost coverage of zero percentage – exactly the same analysis and determination as in the NIH announcement.

The Heritage Foundation report came to the conclusion that only three schools in the sample reject indirect cost rates from private foundations at lower prices than those that they negotiated with the Federal Government. These schools are the University of Alabama on Birmingham, the Massachusetts Institute for Technology and the University of Michigan.
The NIH -Massung refers to three schools without identifying the Heritage Foundation as a source of analysis. It is mentioned that Harvard needs at least 15 percent indirect cost insurance from private donors and that the California Institute of Technology needs indirect costs for indirect costs. These examples also appear in the Heritage Foundation report.
One of the authors of the report, the Senior Research Fellow of Heritage Foundation, Jay Greene, said that he was not involved in designing the NiH announcement, but recognized that a paragraph of the NIH -Mitteilung “” A reference to our report from 2022 seems to be “. The NIH did not answer the request from WIRED for comments.
A plan for reducing indirect cost quotas in federal grants also appears in project 2025, the almost a thousand-sided policy plan for the Heritage Foundation for a second Trump Presidency. “This market-oriented reform would help to reduce state taxpayer subsidies of the left-wing agendas,” the report said. During his presidential campaign, Trump always rejected all the connections to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.
On Monday, A Coalition of 22 countries Submitted a lawsuit that questioned the legality of the attempt by the NIH to reduce indirect costs.
Universities say that the cap will hinder its ability to do important research. “The discovery of new treatments would slow down the possibilities of developing the next generation of scientific leaders would shrink, and our nation’s knowledge of science and engineering would be severely impaired” Harvard President Alan Garber in a contribution on the university website.
Some universities lose more than 100 million dollars of federal financing if the new grants are retained. After to statementIn 2022, the Weill Cornell Medicine brought indirect costs of 107 million US dollars -a number that would decrease on 23 million US dollars if the rate was 15 percent.
