The Department of Defense (DoD) has announced a cap on indirect cost reimbursement rates for higher education institutions, limiting them to 15 percent. This decision, which follows similar actions by other federal agencies like the NIH and NSF, aims to enforce budget discipline and accountability. Critics, including university representatives, argue that such caps could cripple research efforts and violate administrative processes. The DoD's move highlights ongoing concerns about federal funding policies and their impact on higher education and military research advancements.
"The Department of Defense (DoD) is the steward of the most critical budget in the Federal Government-the budget that defends our Nation, equips our warfighters, and secures our future."
"DOD research performed by universities is a force multiplier and has helped to make the U.S. military the most effective in the world."
