After NIH move, DOGE hysteria spreads - Washington Examiner

A new way of calculating medical grants, imposed by the Trump administration, would be a “devastating” move that would “imperil universities and medical centers,” “cripple lifesaving research and innovation” Republicans were appalled — not at the new policy but at the media/ Democratic reaction.

The NIH ’s new indirect cost rate of 15 percent is in line with what research institutions receive from private foundations, Harris says.

Harris says the new policy could allow more NIH funding to go directly to critical scientific research, instead of funding bloated university bureaucracies.

The Washington Post article, Harris added, was “grossly misleading”.
