Bhattacharya demurs on his view on Trump’s slashing of NIH indirect costs
SHARE

Senators from both parties recently engaged in a heated discussion with Jay Bhattacharya, President Trump’s nominee to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH), regarding the agency’s plan to reduce overhead payments that come with NIH grants. The NIH’s decision to implement a 15% add-on to cover indirect costs has raised concerns among lawmakers, as this move could potentially lead to a significant reduction in funding for institutions.

Typically, indirect cost rates with the NIH range between 30% and 70%, but with the new policy in place, billions of dollars in funding that go to universities and medical centers could be at risk. These funds are crucial for covering administrative and facility support, as well as other expenses not directly related to a specific research project. Each university negotiates its own indirect cost rate with the federal government, making the potential impact of this decision far-reaching.

A federal judge has temporarily halted the Trump administration’s plan while she reviews a lawsuit filed by a coalition of state attorneys general and research institutes. The proposal has sparked fears that academic institutions may have to scale back their research endeavors and reduce support for scientists. Even some Republican lawmakers have criticized the move, highlighting the bipartisan concern surrounding the potential ramifications of cutting indirect costs.

The debate surrounding NIH grants and indirect costs underscores the delicate balance between funding essential research and managing expenses. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Bhattacharya, if confirmed as the NIH head, will navigate this contentious issue. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as stakeholders grapple with the implications of potential funding cuts on scientific innovation and academic institutions.
