""We want to make sure that we're able to give each of you all of the attention and support that you need to get through comfortably [and] well supported," Janet Blume, interim dean of the graduate school, said at a Graduate Student Council meeting Wednesday. She said the university will honor the financial commitments of M.F.A. and Ph.D. students who lost their grants."
"In addition to canceling research grants, numerous federal agencies have put forth plans to cap the amount of money they reimburse universities to cover indirect research costs, which universities say will hurt their budgets and slow innovation. Brown is among the institutions suing the government over its changes to indirect cost reimbursement rates, which are on pause during ongoing litigation."
Brown will provide money to graduate students whose federal research grants were cut. Interim dean Janet Blume said the university will honor financial commitments to M.F.A. and Ph.D. students who lost grants. NIH, NSF and other agencies terminated thousands of academic researchers' grants, including many at Brown, citing misalignment with the Trump administration's agenda. Brown is reducing its graduate admissions target to allow time to address federal funding shifts and job-market changes. Federal agencies proposed capping reimbursements for indirect research costs, prompting Brown to join lawsuits; reimbursement changes are paused during litigation. Administrators warned of potential significant cost-cutting amid deep financial losses and increased endowment taxes.
