可以看NIH自己出的通知:“Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as "indirect costs." Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.”
沒有看到信的原文,但是耶魯每日新聞這樣報道:“ The United States Department of Health and Human Services wrote to the News that cutting indirect cost rates will ensure more funding is directed to research rather than overhead.”

今天的耶魯每日新聞:“ This Monday, the National Institutes of Health will significantly cut funding for indirect research costs. Researchers rely on it to fund critical infrastructure, including laboratory space, research staff, compliance regulations and even utilities.
NIH research grants are accompanied by funding for administrative expenses, known as reimbursements for indirect research costs. The NIH announced that it would reduce the reimbursement rate for indirect research costs to a flat 15 percent, significantly lower than the rates many institutions currently receive, some as high as 60 percent. The move, framed by the NIH as a way to direct more funding toward scientific research rather than administrative costs, has been met with alarm by university leaders, researchers and policymakers. ”

NIH裏爛到根了,被老頭子們與關係戶們把持著,應該改革。

NSF不應該砍。也就100憶,養活了多少未來美國的科技精英。

醫學研究相當獨特——它不是基礎研究,缺乏明確的規律性和成熟的理論體係。大多數生物和醫學論文都是描述性的,很難上升到理論層麵,但現在經常是研究人員發現個例所謂的“新現象”即發表頂刊文章,以凸顯研究的高大上。醫學研究方法也 屬於應用研究,但往往與醫院、醫生和醫療公司的實際工作脫節,因此,大多數醫學研究成果並沒有直接的實際應用。這也造成了NIH 的研究既不同於 NSF 的基礎研究,也不同於 DOE、DOD 和 NASA 等機構的應用研究。

For most "successful professors" from China, NIH money is the crown jewel, but just ot survive and pay summer salary. However, successful "connected professors" have other sources, such as DARPA black money, medicine companies, and even USAID. Most successful professors are Jewish, like Silverman of Northwestern and Langer of MIT. These guys do translation extremely well and really turns research to gold.

沒說醫學經費不能減少。這次NIH主動減overhead, 好過馬斯克插手,NIH項目本來就是公開的。結果影響的是各大學從indirect cost裏拿到的錢,不是PI。如果有些項目消耗的indirect cost大過overhead covered,也許後果是學校以後不支持這樣的project申請。不論怎樣,大學要為消減做出調整。馬斯克更大的破壞來自於對敏感數據的獲取,在沒有監管的情況下,在違法的情況下。他的conflict of interest情況隻需自行決定。一切都隻是剛剛開始。川粉馬粉別著急,一定會讓你們好好奉獻的。
No, Musk is fighting rampant corruption and headless waste.
Musk is in business. Most professors are just nerds (like I was before), no offense.
The taxer payer cares about corruption, not efficiency. Efficiency is just a good name for corruption and waste.
If you are a university researcher, then you get paid from the tax collected to do your favorite research. You are actually in the establishment. You are in the comfort zone. Most Americans are not in the comfort zone. They voted for Trump. They voted for change.
不少人忽視馬斯克的納粹手勢,為他找借口。加上他在德國afd rally的發言,move beyond nazi guilt, preserve German culture, against global elites, 等等,和他母親家族對nazi支持的曆史,雇傭的 big ball對人種優化的推崇,他對reproduction 的熱衷,想讓女員工接受他的精子,他的真實願景和動機更加值得關注和擔憂。
A decision by The National Institutes of Health to reduce funding for grants will have a major and long-lasting impact on medical research in the US. Effective immediately, NIH announced that all new grants will have a 15% payment cap for indirect costs. Indirect costs pay for facilities, research infrastructure, capital expenses, maintenance, and administrative expenses supporting 300,000 researchers and 2500 universities, research institutions, and academic centers. Indirect costs at leading academic institutions are often above 60% (Hopkins 67.5%, Yale 63.7%, Harvard 69%) 。
at least there is action on overhead at universities and colleges. these leaders have no control over the cost so the tuition is huge for average americans.
