The University of Iowa temporarily halted research grant applications and paused hiring after the NIH proposed a new cap on indirect cost reimbursements at 15%. This cap significantly reduces direct financial support for essential underlying research costs, subverting the previous 28% rate the university enjoyed, which accounted for over $53 million in 2024 NIH funding. The decision to pause was revoked following a federal judge's injunction against the cap, underscoring the potential impact on university research if such policies are enacted in the future.
